All behavior is communication — including and especially what we might consider bad behavior. Often, in response to our students’ undesirable behavior, we institute rewards- or compliance-based systems in our classrooms and schools. But external motivation systems do not create classrooms of students who are interested and invested in their education. In fact, they are actively harmful to the pursuit of an engaging, effective learning environment.
This Institute will help participants translate their students’ behavior and identify and address their core needs.
