Monster in my classroom

Millennial Parents and their Gen Z and Alpha Children, think, act, interoperate and process everything very differently. It is critical, as an educator, to understand the psychology behind these generations if we have any chance of fighting the ongoing battle against ill-discipline in the classroom. One of the key elements that affect the health of the school’s environment is the issue of managing learner behaviour through the disciplinary processes of a school. Management, educators and other staff are dealing with problematic behaviour from the learners on a daily basis.

Our most popular workshops

Cyber proof your school

Our cyber safety workshop covers all the point of cyber safety. From the different apps the kids use, Cyber predators, how to keep yourself safe and how to make the home cyber smart, Online AI and chat GPT and even how the children can be netiquette.

Sexuality and reproductive health

Sexual education encompasses the cognitive, emotional, physical and social aspects of body development, sex, sexuality and relationships, as well as skills development, to assist young people in communicating about sex and making informed decisions about their sexual health.

Prevention of educator burnout

Having personally presented to learners, management and staff at over 80 schools this year, one of the biggest changes that I’ve noticed is the level of exhaustion amongst management and staff at just about every school. Some of the challenges that educators and management face are:

  • Angry and self-entitled parents
  • High levels of anxiety
  • Demotivated colleagues
  • Uncertainty around the future of SA
  • Financial concerns around rising costs

Time to invest in your most important assets, your staff and their mental health.

Basic counselling workshop

First Aiders save many lives in the world every day, the ability to provide basic CPR to a person having a heart attack, enables the Cardiologist to perform their role as a specialist. Every Educator should have the basic skills to provide Emotional First Aid when needed in an emergency and then refer to a professional. These workshops provide those skills.

Child protection workshop

One of the biggest challenges facing education in South Africa today is the lack of training provided to teachers when it comes to issues of child protection, abuse reporting protocols and the responsibilities that teachers have in their in loco parentis relationship with learners. Teachers are not normally trained to deal with the real issues that they face in the classroom, recent negative media has proven that schools are ill equipped to deal with the real issues at hand, physical and sexual abuse, depression, suicide, self-mutilation, self-made pornography and reporting obligations.

Prevention and management of drug and alcohol abuse

Having spent the past three months researching and writing our new drug workshop, it is apparent that very few people have an intimate knowledge about the subject. If you are not able to identify, understand the symptoms and educate learners about the following drugs – you need this workshop!!!! Sugars, Nyape, Planzana, Kwape, Jellies, Matakwane, Double dipped, Penguins, Nose Candy, Tjoeff, Khat, Kuber, Mitsubishis and Slag
