This course explores the stages of the escalation cycle and offers inclusive, compassionate strategies to support students through stress, dysregulation, and crisis moments. Participants will learn how to recognize early signs of escalation, design environments that prevent triggers, and respond effectively during peak and recovery phases. The course emphasizes co-regulation, emotional safety, and relational repair as foundations for long-term change. Through narrative case studies and practical tools, educators will build capacity to support all learners, especially those most impacted by trauma, anxiety, or unmet needs, within safe and connected school environments.
