The Behavior Shift: What Schools Need to Change to Reduce Escalations and Keep Students Learning
A live Inclusive Schooling workshop offering practical, inclusive solutions for how schools respond to behavior on Feburary 16, 2026.
Many schools are relying on behavior systems that don’t reduce escalations. Reward charts, clip-downs, send-outs, and escalating consequences often interrupt learning, strain relationships, and leave adults feeling stuck. When emotions run high, these approaches create power struggles instead of solutions — and everyone feels the impact.
90-minute live virtual workshop with Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak and Dr. Julie Causton
$49 per seat. Workshop via ZOOM on February 16th!
Why This Workshop is Different
Most behavior training focuses on:
-
Fixing the student
-
Adding another program
-
Asking staff to “be more consistent”
This workshop focuses on changing how behavior is understood and responded to in real time — so adults feel calmer, more confident, and more supported in the moment behavior actually happens.
No charts.
No scripts.
No power struggles.
Just practical clarity about what works — and why.
What You’ll Learn
During this interactive 90-minute session, you’ll explore:
1. Why rewards and punishments often backfire
2. What actually works to de-escalate in the moment
3. How to keep students learning while maintaining safety
4. How adult understanding and responses drive real change
This session is especially helpful if you…
Feel responsible for keeping learning going when behavior escalates and the room quickly shifts
Are supporting others who feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure what to do next
Are expected to follow plans exactly, even when they aren’t helping in the moment
Want fewer power struggles, removals, and repeat disruptions—and clearer ways to respond in the moment
What this workshop is – and isn't
This workshop is:
-
Practical and grounded in real school environments
-
Focused on adult understanding and response
-
Designed to reduce stress and increase clarity
This workshop is not:
-
A new behavior program
-
A reward system in disguise
-
A compliance or control model
-
Another thing to “implement”
The goal is relief, not more work.

Is this workshop for a person in my role?
-
Are you seeing frequent escalations?
-
Feeling stuck between “being firm” and “being supportive”?
-
Tired of strategies that don’t actually change behavior?
-
Wanting fewer disruptions and more learning — without removing students?
If behavior feels exhausting instead of instructional, this workshop is for you (educators, school leaders, coaches, coordinators)
Will I have ongoing access to the materials?
Yes. You’ll also receive lifetime access to a private dashboard with key resources and materials from the session.
This is not another program to implement.
This session does not introduce a new program, framework, or checklist. Instead, it focuses on how adults respond in real time when behavior escalates—so students can stay learning and adults feel more confident and supported. The emphasis is on practical understanding and usable responses that reduce stress for everyone involved.
