BSEM training course

Developed by teachers for teachers, our Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) course provides educators with a toolkit of 100+ practical strategies for immediate use in the classroom and across your school.

Our BSEM course is the foundation training to bring the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) into your classroom and whole-school.

We show educators how to help students meet their own learning needs by:

• understanding the benefits of trauma-informed teaching on child development and ability to learn
• creating a supportive and trauma-informed positive education classroom
• bolstering student-teacher relationships
• applying positive relational classroom behaviour management strategies
• instilling strengths-based practices across the school.

You will learn strategies to keep students engaged and how to support them to have an improved capacity for school achievement.
