What is shame-reducing practise?

Shame has the same neurobiological response as terror and yet so many methods within a school can be using shame to motivate a child.

This session will explore how to motivate a child without using shame, which whilst it may have quick results in the short term, we know can cause long term damage to a child’s nervous system, learning, relationships, emotions and mental health.

Shame reducing environments are healthier for everyone and a part of a trauma informed practice.

Suitable for Designated Teachers, Teachers and Headteachers.
