Godwin Consulting – Establishing connected classroom cultures that empower joyful responsibility.

Imagine a school community that celebrates the transformation of young lives through establishing strong connections, shared transparent information and students, schools and parents taking collective responsibility. We help schools to equip teachers, parents and students to do their part so that teachers can focus more time on teaching and less time on behaviour.

By creating a culture of love we will help you to spend more time teaching and less time ‘managing’ behaviours. We will reignite your fire for teaching and education so that you love your work again.

Teaching does not need to be exhausting.

Do you spend more time ‘managing’ behaviour than teaching?
Are you exhausted by the holidays?
Do you feel ill-equipped to respond to angry, demanding parents?
Are you overwhelmed with another day of teaching ‘that child’?
Do you feel like you are not making a difference?
Are you tired of having to learn another behaviour management program?

From weary to powerful.

Godwin Consulting has everything you need to learn how to stay connected with your students whilst they learn from their mistakes. You will never argue with a student again…

At Godwin Consulting we believe that all teachers and schools love their students. Yet, for many school staff the systemic expectations, the complexity of student’s home lives and the feeling of powerlessness over responding to student behaviour has resulted in exhaustion, burn out and teachers who have lost their love of teaching.

Restoring your love of teaching and choosing connection with each student will require you to go on a journey of self-discovery, becoming powerful in all your relationships and making a courageous choice to love your students on purpose. It requires training, repetition, and intentionality.

No matter what your classroom or school culture has been like before, you can transform the lives of your students and make a difference. You will no longer be exhausted from:

Managing your classroom with fear and intimidation

Arguing with students

Loosing your control whilst your classroom loses its control

Be a victim of a student or parent’s behaviour

Feel powerless to set boundaries and limits

Go home feeling like you are not making a difference

You can easily get a teacher’s perspective from anyone in your staff rooms; they will tell you that students are out of control, parents are the problem, they want to be supported more by the school leadership and need urgent support to reduce stress and exhaustion.

We believe that you do have effective wellbeing and behaviour programs operating in your school and classrooms; let us enhance what you are already doing by equipping you with tools to become a powerful teacher.

We take you outside of the confines of your educational experiences and share with you a breadth of wisdom that crosses lifespan development, educational systems, and leadership levels.

You don’t need your whole school on board to see success; you will get the attention of your school community by making your classroom a point of difference.

Be prepared to be asked ‘why do they listen to you?’

Loving our Students on Purpose is designed to empower individuals or teams in the educational sector with the tools to shift from the exhaustion of reactive, behaviour management to behaviour education which will result in your teachers enjoying teaching and your students joyfully taking responsibility for their own behavioural choices.

Bernii Godwin

Social worker & behaviour education consultant

ABOUT GODWIN CONSULTING

Free. Empower. Transform. Restore.

Bernii has had the privilege of working with a full spectrum of human services and behaviour ages including maternity through to aged care. This breadth of experience and education has provided her a unique opportunity to speak into the lives of individuals, families, schools and organisations to coach them in developing an understanding of their own needs and how to meet those needs effectively whilst respecting the rights of others.

Bernii has been working in the field of education since 2002. She has a master’s qualification in Social Work and a Graduate Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy which complements her undergraduate study, Bachelor of Human Services/Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice (majoring in youth and family justice). In addition, Bernii is a Loving on Purpose Trainer.

A core component of social work in education is to assist students and families to improve their personal and social wellbeing. Bernii’s experience and qualifications have refined her ability to identify issues that require change, supporting clients through the referral process as they engage in the change cycle. In order to do this effectively, social workers have a breadth of knowledge of human behaviour and development, life cycles changes, families and social networks, disability and health, including mental health.

Predominantly working in the educator sector, Bernii has applied her skills in helping schools, children, and families to develop their own internally responsible behaviour cultures. These internal cultures promote healthy boundaries, connection, love and respect. As a result, she has witnessed many cultural shifts in the lives of individuals and school communities from fear and control toward love, trust, honour and joyful responsibility.

Further to this, Bernii provides professional supervision using a reflective approach to both individuals and teams in the education sector. Professional supervision provides an opportunity for educators to reflect on their practice in an informal and safe environment in which the client has the freedom to set the agenda and direction of the discussions. It is widely documented that awareness and self-efficacy is the most effective tool in preventing vicarious trauma; awareness being the core ingredient to engaging in reflective practice.
