Are you spending more time managing student behavior than leading instruction in your school? In this session, you'll learn how to shift the way staff view behavior—seeing it not as defiance, but as a sign of missing skills, trauma, context, or unmet needs. By changing this mindset, this will empower teachers to manage their classrooms effectively to move from merely surviving daily disruptions to thriving as confident, supported professionals. We’ll also explore how to build a positive school climate through intentional structures and routines that foster respectful relationships, student engagement, and a safe, supportive environment for all.
