Changing the View, Changes the Outcome: Reaching, Teaching (and learning from) our most Challenging Students!

In this six-hour workshop, educators will dive into strategies to reach and teach their most challenging students. Through a systematic approach, participants will learn ways to support one another in co-regulation to support student regulation, and academic and social growth. Following the training educators will have opportunities to attend follow-up zooms to reflect and support their journey in working with our most challenging students.

*Teams of educators (2-4) are encouraged to attend this workshop together (teacher, admin, lead teacher, social worker, school psych, members of the crisis team, etc…) as this work takes a collaborative effort to shift mindsets and make change happen.

Presented by: Lindy McDaniel & Eileen Webster
