A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

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!

Sincerely,
Melissa Davis

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