Emotionally Available Schools

The “Emotionally Available Schools” course, led by Roger Mitchell, focuses on a leadership approach that fosters a sense of belonging within educational environments. This innovative approach aims to adapt education to meet the emotional needs of children through the cultivation of positive relationships among students, staff, and the wider community.

Course Highlights:

• Real-World Insights: Learn from the experiences of Phil Denton and Conor Mahoney from Opogo, who witnessed this approach in action during their visit to Ripply Primary School in early 2025.
• Movement Potential: Understand how Roger Mitchell’s vision could spark a movement, leading to widespread adoption of emotionally responsive educational practices.

Course Structure:

• Webinar: The course includes a comprehensive webinar delivered by Roger Mitchell for Opogo Education. Roger, a renowned speaker on the topic, will share his insights and practical strategies for implementing emotionally available leadership in schools.
• Interactive Quiz: At the end of the course, participants will take a short quiz to assess their understanding. Successful completion of the quiz will earn participants a certificate in Emotionally Available Schools.
