Teaching is at an all-time level of difficulty. Throw behavior challenges into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. How can teachers keep their sanity and also better understand where these behaviors are coming from and why they are occurring. Join Leslie Belvins and me or a conversation on behavior function and how to look at the behavior with empathy and grade while also taking care of the rest of the class and yourself. I hope you will join us.

Being a teacher can be so difficult, especially when it comes to behavior problems. Kids throwing tables and chairs and acting aggressively have increased significantly in the past five years. Sadly, we are seeing a dramatic increase in younger children who exhibit these behaviors, as well.

So what is a teacher to do? That is the question. How can teachers teach when they are continually being interrupted by one behavior issue after another?
