KSDE Safe and Supportive Schools Conference

People, in general, don't know how to listen well. They might hear perfectly fine, yet not be a good listener. It is a skill that first has be to introduced to us then requires constant work and attention on ourselves, not on the communication skills of those around us. We can't control when someone is struggling, fearful, or dysregulated. We can learn to control how we listen to them to create safety and support. We will look at how we hear key words and see key expressions that trigger our problem solving skills, our desire to jump in and fix, advise, and rescue others from their pains.
Come to this session ready to practice HOW TO listen and be ready to leave behind your well-intentioned advice for others.
