Twin Cities Whole Child Classroom Management

Come on Your Own or Bring Your Team, A Great Workshop for Principals, Teachers & Social Workers

Twin Cities

What: All teachers develop classroom management plans that work well for many students—but what’s happening day to day throughout the school year?

Are you noticing patterns where students are increasingly struggling with behavior and social skills? It may be time to “flip” behavior before it begins to impact teaching and learning.

In this course, participants will explore practical, research-based strategies they can implement immediately in their schools. 

Strategies you'll walk away with:

• Identify interventions that support all students
• Learn tools and strategies to better support both students and staff in managing behavior
• Explore classroom best practices for supporting students with mental health needs
• Develop a school-wide process to support families facing social and emotional challenges
• Examine the staff environment and apply best practices for adult self-care
• Strengthen social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes as a foundation for academic and life success
• Foster a positive, predictable, and nurturing environment for staff, students, and families
• Address discipline disparities and disproportionality in special education
• Support and maintain the least restrictive environment for students with disabilities
• Equip teachers with effective tools to support social-emotional development and behavioral functioning
• Increase student engagement and improve academic achievement
