Improve the relationship between you and your kids
You probably became a teacher because you love kids and you really want to make a difference! AND, helping students who are using challenging behaviors that keep them and others from learning is really hard, especially because there’s no handbook that defines how you should handle every situation. Plus, the uniqueness of each child requires that you examine similar experiences through different lenses.
Some common challenges that educators face include:
Other challenges may relate to difficulties your student might be experiencing outside the classroom, such as peer relationships or family struggles.
We work together to help you understand how to encourage positive behavior changes so that your students become respectful co-contributors to the learning environment.
Gain a deeper understanding of how children learn, the importance of belonging and social - emotional learning, and how best to teach those skills in a classroom or care setting.

This 14-hour interactive workshop is designed for teachers, counselors, school staff and administrators who want an effective discipline approach based on Adlerian Psychology, that integrates trauma-informed, social-emotional learning while reducing challenging student behaviors. Attendees will earn recognition as Certified Positive Discipline Classroom Educators and will learn to:
1. Teach students social-emotional skills such as emotional awareness and regulation, cooperation, communication, conflict resolution, leadership…and so much more!
2. Learn Positive Discipline/Adlerian psychology for use in the classroom and school community.
3. Create a classroom with a sense of community in which teachers and students show respect for each other.
4. Establish explicit classroom structures and procedures.
5. Understand the belief behind the students’ misbehavior and how to motivate positive change.
6. Teach problem solving and solution building, so students learn how to manage and resolve conflict peer-to-peer, without adult intervention.
When we look beneath the surface, we can better understand students’ motivation for misbehavior and, therefore, be more strategic in our response. In this engaging, interactive workshop, we’ll explore the Four Mistaken Goals of Misbehavior and practice strategies for motivating students to cooperate and contribute to the learning environment.
Kids like to push the boundaries and teachers often don’t know what to do except push back. What if there were an alternative to that power struggle? In this highly engaging workshop, teachers will learn Positive Discipline strategies that result in better behaviors from students, so they can spend more time teaching and less time on classroom management.
