About this event

This engaging and interactive seminar will provide innovative techniques for strengthening the learning of all your students in easy-to-use, yet highly effective ways. Experienced general and special education teacher Melissa Davis understands firsthand how scaffolding for success is the powerful tool all teachers need to reduce disruptive behaviors while increasing self-regulation and academic success. Learn how to decrease disruptive behaviors while increasing clarity, calm, and attentiveness, helping you maximize every school-day minute.

Explore dozens of new ideas and proven techniques you can incorporate into your existing program. Positively impact the behaviors that challenge you daily and flip the script on student motivation in any instructional setting. Though we can't control the mental and emotional states that our students bring from home each morning, we can integrate innovative strategies that enable our students to improve their behavior, learning, and skill retention.

You'll leave with a robust toolkit and an extensive digital resource handbook to help you reduce disruptive behaviors while increasing self-regulation and academic success in your grades PreK-2 learners.

As educators, it seems with each passing year we continue to experience increasing challenges in both our students and the learning environment. Now, more than ever, our youngest grades PreK-2 learners require effective strategies to manage their challenging behaviors and ensure optimal learning experiences.

Throughout my career as a special and general education teacher, I've prioritized supporting students beyond just academics. Working with diverse learners, from those with developmental delays and challenging behaviors to their typically developing peers, I've taken particular interest in helping young students who present with challenging behaviors. This passion has led to the creation of dozens of classroom-tested techniques that have markedly improved student focus, reduced disruptive behaviors, and ultimately enhanced learning.

In this new seminar I am excited to share these valuable tools and techniques with you! Drawing on my classroom experience and my coaching work with teachers, we'll explore dozens of easy-to-use, classroom-tested strategies you can implement immediately to decrease disruptive behaviors and increase student learning. We'll explore success stories and practical applications of these strategies, allowing you to tailor them to your unique classroom environment.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working challenging student behaviors, I'll guide you through practical methods for creating a more supportive and productive learning environment for your grades PreK-2 students. Let's work together to empower them and ensure their success!

P.S. The focus of our day together will be on practical, classroom-tested strategies you can implement right away!
