COURSE OVERVIEW

Throughout my tenure in education, every year, there is something new that is supposed to be the answer to the challenging behaviors we face today. The only constant of these initiatives is that they're all flawed. If we're honest, we must admit that they all have some excellent qualities. We've all come to understand that no perfect solution will solve our behavior challenges in schools today. Restorative Practices, social-emotional learning, positive behavior interventions, and Support can all positively impact the climate and culture of your campus. With all initiatives, there will always be deficiencies. One can look to any of these frameworks and determine that they alone will not meet the diverse needs of their campus.

This course teaches participants how to develop a campus framework that will allow them to incorporate the key elements of Restorative Practices, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) along with traditional consequences to improve the climate and culture of the school.
