With Covid driving our actions at this point in time it is more critical than ever that we think about the "Recovery Process" vs the "Recovery Room".  This class will provide the opportunity to think through how to work with students who struggle without the benefit of the Safe Seat, Buddy Room or Recovery Room.  It will help schools think through how to support students who struggle in a more proactive manner so that the learning environment can remain calm and the individual students (who need it) can receive support.  This will allow schools to become more proactive in their approach to teaching and practicing missing skills.

This is a monthly workshop (9/21, 10/26, 11/16, 2/22, 3/22, 5/3). The Zoom link will be the same each month.

This course will help identify specific strategies to support teachers within the BIST model and increase their ability to problem solve and support students as they navigate chaotic and traumatic experiences. Discussions and role-playing of effective conflict management and responses to anger, denial and demands will require vulnerability on the part of participants.

If you miss one of the sessions, please email a request for an audio recording to BIST@cornerstonesofcare.org

Class will be on three consecutive Tuesdays. You need to attend all three sessions.

This course is designed to provide elementary/secondary school personnel with a comprehensive organizational, behavioral and curricular approach to support students who exhibit challenging behaviors. Participants will develop an understanding of the psycho-educational philosophy of the BIST model and how it ties into trauma-informed care for students. They will also learn the Goals for Life, language to reduce resistance with difficult students and develop effective communication skills with parents and other staff members. Through role-playing, participants will have the opportunity to observe the new concepts being taught by the Behavior Intervention Support Team.
