Chaos to Calm: Teaching Skills Instead of Always Managing Behavior

Are you tired of playing "behavioral fire-fighter"? It’s time to shift from managing outbursts to mastering instruction. Moving from different stages of chaos in the classroom to one of calm requires a fundamental shift from traditional behavior management to a skill-based approach. Traditional methods often rely on using punitive consequences, rewards, and punishments to control students from the outside, which can fail to build deep skills or internal control.  Join us as we learn to view behavior as communication. By pivoting from compliance-only methods toward neuro-affirming practices, we can prioritize social skills, regulation and skill building. While our goals for our students remain the same, our path to achieving them has evolved. Don’t just manage the day, help students master the skill to behavior goes down and students succeed.
