Feedback Survey
This comprehensive day-long workshop provides an in-depth exploration of the AIM (Accept. Identify. Move.) Curriculum, designed to enhance Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a robust framework grounded in psychological flexibility. This training is specifically tailored for educational professionals, including teachers and administrators, who are dedicated to fostering environments that support the social and emotional well-being of students across all grade and ability levels.
Over the course of this 6-hour experience, attendees will delve into the assessment and intervention of the six core processes that make up a child’s behavioral and psychological flexibility. Acceptance, defusion, present moment awareness, self-as-context, values, and committed action – all play a role in helping students navigate SEL challenges. Each process will be unpacked to provide a thorough understanding of
its role in developing psychological flexibility and enhancing greater peace and well-being. Participants will engage in interactive activities and practical exercises designed to illustrate these core concepts and how they can be effectively integrated into daily classroom practices for just minutes each day.
The workshop will also focus on scaling the AIM Curriculum to meet the diverse needs of students across different grade levels and abilities. Attendees will learn how to adapt the curriculum for Tier 1 (Universal), Tier 2 (targeted), and Tier 3 (intensive) intervention models, creating effective and function-based classroom behavior management systems, and ensuring that SEL strategies are effectively implemented at all levels of student need. Real-world examples and case studies will be presented to demonstrate successful implementations and outcomes.
Special emphasis will be placed on creating cohesive SEL programs that align with school-wide goals and initiatives. Participants will explore strategies for fostering collaboration among educators, mental health professionals, and administrators to create a supportive and integrated approach to SEL. The workshop will also address the practicalities of implementing the AIM Curriculum, including managing classroom
time, allocating resources, and adhering to educational regulations and standards.
By the end of this immersive training, attendees will be confident in their ability to assess and implement the AIM Curriculum, scale it appropriately across different intervention tiers and foster a school environment that prioritizes the social and emotional development of all students.
