Explosive, aggressive, and even violent behavior has been on the rise for a few years now, and those who are not trained in special behavior supports need tools to help students and themselves in crisis situations. This course offers educators the skills and strategies needed to effectively respond when students are not able to self-regulate. Teachers will explore the connection between trauma and crisis behaviors, learn why behaviors might occur, understand the stages within the crisis cycle, and proactive strategies for reducing crisis behavior before it starts. Learn about current crisis protocol in some schools, and de-escalation techniques for “in the moment” reactions.This course empowers teachers to proactively manage challenging behaviors, enhance student safety, and promote a sense of belonging within the school community.
