Professional Development Workshop Series Presents:
Consultation Under Pressure: Using the ACT and
Prosocial Matric to Support Educators
Presented by Phil Tenaglia
Teachers, administrators, and school staff often seek consultation when situations have become difficult, stressful, or stuck. In those moments, consultation can offer more than strategies for responding to and supporting student behavior. It can create space for educators to notice what is happening, reconnect with what matters, and consider a wider range of workable responses.
In this experiential webinar, participants will learn how to use the ACT Matrix as a simple point of view for individual consultation and the Prosocial Matrix for consultation with teams and groups(child study, IEP, MTSS, parents), etc. Participants will also notice how their own reactions as consultants enter the process. Rather than adding another consultation model or set of techniques, the session demonstrates how psychological flexibility, shared purpose, and workability can help serve educators—and the professionals consulting with them—when things get hard.
Objectives:
You will leave with a simple, immediately useful process for your next consultation- and a confirmation that school mental health professionals already have substantial capacity to increase psychological flexibility in adults, systems, and the students they serve.
