• SEL RTI model
• Generalization - can’t teach kids generalized skills unless you have a system in place.
• Reinforce skills that kids are learning in therapy
• Bonus: it helps teachers as well
• Teachers have to be the owners of it.
• When behaviors get in the way of our goals, they are problems.
• How to develop kids into the adults we want them to be.
• Starting basic, with something like self-awareness.
• “I see I think I feel I choose” as a construct to help kids self-regulate
• Tier 2 and Tier 3 responses are more repetition and deeper conversations
• “My Teacher needs to understand me.” is not a helpful self-talk strategy, but our teachers do need to understand our kids.
• How to be a transformative principal? Behaviors are learning opportunities.

Lead a school everyone can be proud of.

Being a principal is tough work. You’re pulled in all kinds of directions. You never have the time to do the work that really matters. Join me as I help school leaders find the time to do the work they became principals to do.

I help you stop putting out fires and start leading.
