Finding Calm in the Chaos
The concept of Seijaku (静寂), which translates to "serenity" or "calm," originates from Japanese philosophy and is often associated with a sense of quietness, peace, and balance. While Seijaku is more commonly linked to mindfulness and personal tranquility, its principles can be effectively applied to behavior management in schools to create a calm and focused learning environment.
Seijaku Consulting can offer a unique and transformative approach to behavior program development in schools by integrating principles of best practices in behavior management, including Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), Restorative Practices, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
Seijaku Consulting was founded in 2024 by Dr. Bridget Guenthner to address the growing complexities in supporting students' emotional and behavioral needs in schools. With an increasing demand for effective, evidence-based programs to address diverse student needs—ranging from emotional regulation and conflict resolution to behavioral support—Dr. Guenthner created Seijaku Consulting to bring a unique, holistic approach to the forefront of educational practices.
The mission of Seijaku Consulting is not just to manage student behavior, but to create a proactive, mindful environment that promotes emotional intelligence, social-emotional well-being, and resilience in both students and educators.
Seijaku Consulting education strategies and classroom management suggestions are essential tools that help teachers maintain order, engage students, foster positive behaviors, and create an environment conducive to learning. This leads to more effective teaching, improved student outcomes, and a healthier school climate.
