Healing Classrooms in the UK

Show description|Hide description

Preparing a Safe Place to Land. Building a community for learning. Fostering academic success.

Here in the UK, Healing Classrooms training sessions have been running since 2022 and educators across all ages from EYFS to university have taken part. Our team is made up of former teachers and behaviour specialists who have adapted the IRC’s Healing Classrooms programme to the UK context.

In the UK, Healing Classrooms is broken down into three steps:

Step 1: Preparing a Safe Place to Land

This step focuses on creating a sense of control and self-worth for students.

Step 2: Building a Community for Learning

This step focuses on creating a sense of belonging and meaningful relationships.

Step 3: Fostering Academic Success

This step focuses on creating intellectually stimulating environments for all students by using culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP).

In the final three units of this course, you will work through strategies and case studies linking to each of these three steps, clarifying exactly how to achieve these in your setting.
