    How Does Your Past Impact Your Teaching?

    In this episode of Chitty Chats, Stacy shares a training she has held titled "How Does Your Past Impact Your Teaching?".  Stacy introduces the concept of how one's physiological and emotional blueprint, developed during early childhood, affects their responses and interactions in educational settings.  The session covers the development of the brain, stress response systems, sensory systems, and techniques for emotional regulation, both for teachers and their students.  Educators are encouraged to reflect on their own triggers, how they were wired through their own developmental stages, and how this impacts their relationships with students, particularly those they find challenging.  Additionally, educators are prompted to consider who has influenced their teaching approach and to reflect on their reasons for staying in the teaching profession, despite its challenges.  The workshop aims to equip educators with tools to improve their self-awareness and emotional management, contributing to a more trauma-informed educational practice. 00:37 The Impact of Your Past on Teaching 06:31 Reflecting on Your Teaching Journey 14:12 Understanding How You're Wired: A Look at Brain Development 24:44 Navigating Triggers in the Classroom 29:24 Exploring Emotional Responses Through Body Awareness 32:46 Understanding Children's Emotional Expressions 33:23 Navigating Feelings and Family Dynamics 34:53 Practical Approaches to Helping Kids Express Emotions 35:30 Case Study: Healing Through Emotional Expression 38:03 Sensory Systems and Classroom Dynamics 46:07 Personal Reflections and Professional Development
