KEYNOTE SPEAKER: SEAN SMITH

Picture
Sean Smith is the North American representative of PLAY IS THE WAY®.  He has returned to Canada after living in Australia for over 12 years working in the capacity of behaviour support and it was there that he recognised the immense potential social and emotional learning and behaviour education has in helping empower children, teachers, and parents tackle daily behavioural issues and concerns in a reasoned and honest way.

Sean has had considerable classroom experience across many grade levels in a multitude to schools in Canada and internationally.

He has a busy schedule training educators in PLAY IS THE WAY®  to help build a sustainable school cultures of continuous self-improvement, adult guidance and role-modelling, peer support, trust, respect and understanding, self-regulation and socially responsible behaviour.



Sean's keynote topic is "Fear as a motivator for behaviour."  Children who find school difficult, be it in the social or academic sense, require bravery to face daily challenges. Bravery isn't a word we use often enough and we underestimate how often the quality itself is needed.
