The BSEM focuses on training teachers and educators in classroom and whole school strategies to promote an understanding of the five domains of the model:
- Body
Building students’ capacity by increasing physical regulation of their stress response, de-escalation and focus. - Relationship
Nurturing on-task learning through relational classroom management strategies. - Stamina
Creating a culture of academic persistence by nurturing resilience, emotional intelligence and a growth mindset. - Engagement
Motivating students with strategies that increase their willingness to learn. - Character
Harnessing a values and character strengths approach to enable students’ self-knowledge which leads to empowered future pathways.
The model sees these domains as corresponding with the child development capacities that each student must build in order to be ready to learn.
