Behavior issues in the classroom can feel like a never-ending cycle that frustrates teachers and overwhelms school resources. This powerful breakout session is designed to help educators break free from the cycle of conflict and stress. By understanding how the brain’s natural protective powers shape both student and staff interaction, participants will learn how to spot potential reactions, apply strengths-based strategies, and leave with concrete tools to boost regulation and respond to student needs. Engaging stories, perspective-shifting visuals, and active problem-solving make this PD a lasting change-maker!
