Professional development workshops and coaching
Health and Wellbeing
Providing educators, parents and carers with evidence-based tools to work on their own wellbeing, enabling them to bring out the best in themselves and others.
A Professional Development workshop focussed on health and wellbeing. We examine the factors that positively influence wellbeing and how these can be applied each day in caring for ourselves and the children in our care.
Harmony In The Classroom
Creating harmony every day: using values and growth mindset to cultivate the inner qualities we want for children and to foster a culture of care and connection.
The workshop will develop self-awareness and cultivate a culture of care and connection. It is based on positive psychology principles and is focussed on values, virtues and strengths. It provides connection-focused and practical tools that can be used each day to enhance social, emotional and mental wellbeing. Throughout this workshop there is an emphasis on promoting positive behaviours, self-awareness and supporting children’s relationships with others.
Can-Do Mindset In The Classroom
Future proofing children to nurture their mental and emotional resilience.
CAN-DO Growth Mindset is a concept developed by Kerry that provides a way for educators to encourage children to learn about their ‘thinking’ and ‘mindset’. It shows how their thoughts play a significant role in the way they view their options and the choices they make in bringing out the best in themselves and others.
The workshop provides the theory behind Growth Mindset and the Can-Do Toolkit and demonstrates ways to confidently use the language of Growth Mindset with these resources every day in creative and engaging ways.
Choice Guidance In The Classroom
An innovative guidance method that replaces managing children’s behaviour to guiding children’s behaviour, enabling educators to nurture confident, self-motivated, engaged and self-aware learners.
Choice Guidance is a method developed by Kerry based on Growth Mindset research that shows parents and educators how to build better connections and relationships with children and develop a child’s choice making abilities.
The Choice Guidance Method empowers children to develop self-awareness of the choices available to them. It helps to cultivate positive relationships skills, positive communication skills and to develop social and emotional skills.
** Choice Guidance differs from the CAN-DO Mindset in that it is a method of verbal skills training based on growth mindset, while the CAN-DO Mindset is a selection of strategies and associated tools that assist educators and parents in developing a positive mindset for children.

Kerry's Qualifications
"Armed with exuberance and commitment, Kerry can be relied upon to deliver fit for purpose sessions, tailor-made to the needs and knowledge base of staff."
I have attended several of Kerry's PD sessions, as a teacher and as a leader, and have found them nurturing and thought-provoking. Each presentation brings something new and builds on previous sessions, assisting participants to make links between known and new knowledge. Armed with exuberance and commitment, Kerry can be relied upon to deliver fit for purpose sessions, tailor-made to the needs and knowledge base of staff. She blends theory with practice and equips teachers with a toolkit to practise their learning in a real sense.
"Kerry was open to make whatever we needed, happen!’ – Anthea Lewis, member of the
St Anthony’s Parents and Friends Association."
Our Parents and Friends (P&F) Association engaged with Kerry to organise growth mindset sessions for our parents and carers. The aim was to complement professional development our school’s teaching staff had recently received. As a parent body, we felt it was key to offer our school community a similar opportunity to support a foundational understanding of what growth mindset is and what it looks like in practice. It offered parents and carers the chance to become familiar with the language and thinking behind growth mindset. The sessions helped to create a way for parents and carers to connect home with the classroom and gain valuable insights into their child’s learning and well-being.
Kerry worked with me to shape the sessions to provide a solid introduction as well as incorporating pointers on how to support our children through their mistakes. To see Kerry in her element presenting such a powerful topic puts a smile on your face. The way Kerry blends her life lessons and vulnerabilities as a parent in with her professional experience as a parent educator, has a way of making everyone feel at ease and comfortably human.
The Townsville and surrounding communities are so fortunate to have such a quality educator and speaker as accessible as we do. I’d highly recommend engaging with Kerry Spina to discuss the possibilities for your next information session or event.
