Defusing Classroom Power Struggles
FULLY FUNDED MARIPOSA TRAINING OPPORTUNITY!
Balance Between Compassion and Control
We know from researchers such as Dr. John Gottman, Brene Brown and Zaretta Hammond, that children do best when adults find the balance between compassion and control. However, this is difficult, and we often feel we have to choose. In this mini-course, we give you the skills to offer both.Â

Anne Townsend, Ph.D.
I’m a social-emotional scientist and for more than 2 decades I’ve been researching how children of all ages develop the social-emotional skills they need to be successful in school and in life. I founded Mariposa with a mission to change the lives of children through our proprietary method. Mariposa is an official partner with Loyola University where I have developed and taught a graduate level course on promoting social-emotional learning as well as an advanced course specifically focused on the role of stress and trauma in a child’s ability to learn, form relationships and behave appropriately.
Jenny Barrett, M.Ed.
As an early childhood educator for 30 years, a special educator, an administrator and parent, I have found this method the single most impactful in all of the training I have had. I was first able to bring this into a school community as an administrator. Seeing the culture that we have been able to create at one Baltimore city preschool, has been transformational. And through Mariposa,I am committed to bringing this approach to as many educators and parents as possible. Because I see the impact of it. And through facilitator training with The National SEED project, (Seeking Equity and Educational diversity,) I've seen the overlap and importance of this work , as well as how the Mariposa method supports culturally responsive teaching.
