Crisis Averted.

Real talk. I’ve met very few teachers who were taught during their teacher prep how to de-escalate a child throwing chairs in the classroom. When I went through my undergraduate years, classroom management answered questions like- “what kind of system will you have in place when a child has missed a week of school? How will you catch them up?” A simpler time, right?

Now, teachers are responsible for so. much. more. Let’s talk about how you can change your approach to de-escalate spicy situations, reduce the time the child is sent to the principal’s office, and get back to those amazing lessons you had planned!

Getting off the Struggle Bus.

Have you been told to use a sticker chart? or a Token board? Stop me if this sounds familiar- The student seemed to do good…. for the first hour/day/week. But then the strategy stopped working. I’m assuming you stopped me here.

This training teaches you why common strategies fail and how we can troubleshoot them so that they work for you! Let’s talk about token boards, first-thens, tucker the turtle, and visual schedules.

I’ve got SKILLS… They’re multiplyin’!

As a school based behavior analyst, my life was problem behavior all day, every day! And that helped me see that every child that was referred to me had the same skill deficits. These kiddos struggled with play skills (in pre-k), emotional regulation, impulse control, organization, task initiation, planning, and communication. As a child begins to develop these skills, the frequency of problem behavior reduces. Let’s talk about strategies to promote that development.
