The Crisis in Education Podcast
Professional Crisis Management Association
Educators are the backbone of our nation, and education is its lifeblood. But because of a number of issues exacerbated by politics and the pandemic, it is progressively faltering. From teacher shortages and failing schools to growing mental health issues, there is an undeniable growing crisis in Education at the individual, classroom, and school level. Though painful, with the right approaches, crises can be leveraged as an opportunity for growth. Therefore, Dr. Paul "Paulie" Gavoni and Drew Carter are co-hosting the Crisis in Education Podcast, where Education meets Behavior Science, to interview educational leaders, behavior scientists, and experts around the world to dissect the root causes of crisis issues and explore potential opportunities for sustainable improvement across schools and districts.

The Problem with Trauma Infomed Care in Schools - How ABA and OBM can Help
Send us a textTo truly be trauma informed in schools or any organization, the principles of TIC need to be embedded into the culture. And when we say culture, what it really boils down to is shared behavior. It’s all about behavior. But if you look through the literature, or if you look under the hood of too many self-proclaimed TIC organizations, these principles are not mined down to the behavior of the people at each level in the organization. Since it all comes back to behavior, Dr. Paulie and Drew take a look at the idea of Trauma Informed Care in Education through a Behavioral Lens.
