The Developmental Audit® / Deep Brain Learning

Date: April 16 - 18, 2011

Location:  Harbour Towers Hotel & Suites, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Deep Brain Learning: Pathways to Potential with Challenging Youth by Drs. Larry Brendtro, Martin Mitchell and Herman McCall has been enlightening and inspiring youth workers world-wide since 2009.  Presented as the first day of The Developmental Audit® training, this course will teach participants the latest brain science research as it relates to the development of children and adolescents.  Deep Brain Learning is designed for teachers, clinicians and direct-care staff to better understand troubled youth and how to optimize their performance in educational and treatment environments.  Participants will learn practical tools to connect with challenging and disruptive youth, methods to motivate reluctant learners, strategies to restore bonds of respect, pathways of the brain leading to trust and self-regulation, and the Circle of Courage Model's four universal needs of children in all cultures: belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity.

The Developmental Audit®  offers a fresh alternative to traditional deficit-based assessment.  Professionals will learn how to engage the young person as a primary data source and full participant in this reflective and restorative process.  The Audit teaches how to involve young persons who are in conflict to join in the process of solving problems and finding solutions, and is particularly relevant where youth are at risk for removal from school or placement in restrictive settings. 

Restoring Respect: RAP Training                                                         

Date: April 16-18, 2011

Location: Harbour Towers Hotel & Suites, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

"To meet life's challenges, all children need adults and peers who respond to their needs rather than react to problem behavior." --Dr. Larry Brendtro, co-author RAP training

RAP offers “essential training” for dealing with challenging children and youth. Response Ability Pathways – or simply RAP – provides essential strength-based strategies for all who deal with young persons in family, school, or community. Children and youth need supportive persons who respond to their needs rather than react to their problems. RAP provides these response-abilities which enable one to guide young persons on pathways to responsibility.
