These professional learning courses are filled with teaching strategies and tips to help you reduce the stress that often comes with challenging behaviours in challenging classrooms. Better yet, our course designers know from firsthand experience that student behaviour can sometimes make teaching young people challenging for educators and for other students. 

The Cool.org Hope and Act Frameworks for Education

The Cool.org Hope and Act Frameworks have been developed to support educators in teaching about challenging topics in ways that inspire hope and action whilst ensuring psychological safety. They are grounded in research from positive psychology and Hope Theory, Design Thinking methodologies and critical and creative thinking.
