She is also a member of the Conscious Discipline Action Team and her practice is deeply rooted in the Conscious Discipline framework. Ms. Dalal works hand in hand with the teaching staff and the departments to bring into action the application of brain-based, trauma-responsive strategies that support the students in processing their feelings, solving disagreements, and developing a sense of belonging. Her efforts are aimed at the setting up of consistent routines, developing a common language, and creating practical classroom structures that will promote student wellbeing and engagement.
In the Saudi Arabian educational context, Ms. Dalal adopts a culturally responsive SEL approach that respects local traditions while promoting the whole child. At GESS Saudi Arabia, Ms. Dalal’s intention is to provide the audience with not only practical strategies but also insights that together put student social and emotional development at the core of good teaching and learning.
