Tallahassee, Florida
Nicole Mercer is passionate about empowering parents and educators with skills and information that allow them to bring the best of who they are to classroom and home. She has been integrating and practicing the skills of Conscious Discipline in her personal and work life since 2003. Nicole was an early childhood teacher for 15 years and has worked with elementary age children through summer camps and substitute teaching during the school year. Her passion for positive learning environments for children led to the opening of her preschool in 2006. Nicole infused Conscious Discipline® (CD) into her curriculum because it offered positive solutions for the struggles she faced as a mother of two young girls, teacher, mentor, and administrator. After four successful years of watching children, teachers, parents, and her daughters choose a better way through CD, she took the next step and became a Conscious Discipline® Certified Instructor in 2009.More Information About This Event

Anger and Rage Teacher Workshop Frequently Asked Questions
How can Conscious Discipline reduce episodes of rage in the classroom?
Not all methods of de-escalation are effective. Conscious Discipline is a trauma-responsive, evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) program that believes all behavior is a form of communication. Through our education conferences, workshops, implementation tools, and online resources, we teach researched and practical skills and applications that are useful for both children and adults. It’s far beyond “just taking a deep breath.” We delve deep into cycles of violence, reactive violence, and internal states that can inform your Rage Prevention and Intervention Program.
Is Conscious Discipline certified?
Conscious Discipline has received numerous awards and certifications over the years, including being a SELect program, the highest designation given by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). We provide resources for teachers, administrators, and parents as well as mental health professionals.
Can non-teachers attend this teacher workshop?
Yes, this isn’t only a teacher conference! Behavior Specialists, School Counselors, Parent Teacher Organization officials, and Board Members can see a great deal of benefits from this trauma-responsive education workshop.
