Primary Teachers’ Creative Intensive

Positive Discipline: Effective and Caring Classroom Management

During this workshop, participants will gain practical skills and classroom management strategies for developing their own effective and positive classroom discipline system. They will learn how to strengthen teacher and student relationships, create positive classroom routines, teach appropriate social and emotional skills to students, and to transform everyday classroom behaviours in a respectful and caring manner. They will have opportunities to ask specific questions for their own understanding and learning, and practical classroom experiences. The aim is for participants to leave feeling more inspired, confident and ready to provide a learning environment for all students, within a framework of positive classroom discipline and management, so that all students can learn in an optimal, safe and respected environment.

Watercolour Painting

Engaging with wet-on-wet watercolour painting is more than a creative exercise—it becomes a profound meditative and pedagogical practice for the teacher. As we slow down and immerse ourselves in the fluid, living qualities of colour, we cultivate the capacity for deep observation, sensitivity, and inner stillness. These are the same qualities that allow us to perceive the nuanced gestures, moods, and needs of the children in our care. Through this artistic experience, teachers strengthen their inner calm, clarity, and presence, which are essential for guiding behaviour with warmth and authority.
