The Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) provides schools with practical pedagogical strategies to engage all students and has been shown to be particularly effective with disadvantaged and struggling learners. The Model integrates 25 years of wellbeing research and has been proven to make significant improvements to students’ resilience, self-regulation, growth and academic achievement. This positive outcome has been achieved by giving teachers practical strategies that engage students and build their willingness to learn at school.
Developed in Australia, BSEM consists of five modules and over 100 practical strategies that correspond with the child-development capacities that each student must build to be ‘ready to learn’ in any context. We focus first on building student capacity to engage and then nurturing their willingness to participate in learning. Throughout our training, we provide a robust toolkit of strategies that:
- a) Teachers can practice and implement with students; and
- b) School leaders can use to ensure a consistent approach to implementation, teacher feedback and support.
Schools have adopted the Model because:
- It is beneficial for all students, not just the ones with chronic stress.
- It consists of practical strategies that provide a consistent approach for a whole school.
- It is easy for teachers and support staff to implement and adapt for their context.
- It can enhance or validate existing classroom management and pedagogical practice.
- It consists of practical strategies that improve teacher awareness of self-care.

Reboot is a whole-of-school program that provides staff and students with a common set of expectations and proven tools that proactively and strategically create cultural and behavioural change in response to challenging behaviours and students’ disengagement from learning. Reboot was created by Sarah Ralston over 10 years of supporting young people, staff and families to address the impact of childhood adversity and trauma. Sarah has combined her experience as a youth worker, teacher and counsellor with studies in psychology, traumatology, neuroscience, kinesiology, counselling, yoga and mindfulness. Reboot’s neuro-science based training, curriculum and strategies integrate social and emotional wellness into the fabric of daily school life to engage the most challenging students, and build life skills for all students to thrive. Reboot tools work for all ages, staff and students, in primary and secondary schools, youth engagement programs and out-of-home care. With the Reboot whole-brain teaching and learning approach you can:
- Improve student engagement, belonging and sense of safety
- Improve student attendance
- Reduce suspension and behaviour concerns
- Introduce the neuroscience of learning and whole-brain teaching
- Manage learning anxiety and create stress-aware classrooms with happier students and staff
- Inspire student confidence and goal setting
- Improve student emotional self-regulation
- Re-energise and inspire staff
Due to the highly kinaesthetic and practical delivery of training (99.6% of workshop participants would recommend this training to others) and the level of support to successfully integrate tools Reboot has seen a 900% growth over the past 18 months and will impact over 30,000 young people in 2017.
