A Moment of Reflection: Shifting Perspective for Ākonga with FASD
Our final meeting date for 2025 is in Term Four on Tuesday 4 November at 4pm.
Have you ever had a student who just won't do as you ask? A moment where you feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to get through? It’s a frustrating and common experience.
But what if the problem is not that they won’t, but that they can't?
This one-hour webinar offers a powerful new perspective, providing you with a simple yet transformative tool for your classroom. We’ll explore how a brief moment of reflection can change your approach and create a more compassionate and effective learning environment.
You will learn:
• The three-part reflective cycle: Observe, Reframe, Act.
• How to apply the "can't, not won't" mindset to real-world classroom scenarios.
• Practical, brain-based strategies that respond to the unique needs of ākonga with FASD.
This webinar isn't about blaming anyone; it's about giving you the tools to better understand your students and respond to their needs. Join us for a moment of reflection that could change everything!

FASD-CAN presents special webinars for educators on an aspect of FASD once a term on Tuesdays between 4pm and 5pm (avoiding the holidays). The webinars are hosted by two education experts experienced in FASD. Research comprehensively shows that for rangatahi with FASD, staying in school is a top indicator for healthy life outcomes, so we want to help educators find out more about this specific neurodisability to enable them to better support ākonga with FASD, and to learn strategies and skills for a happier classroom.
Recordings of previous Ngā Tupu Rau webinars can be found on our training platform on this link (NTR sessions are free when watched live, $10 for recordings).
