While there are many unanswered questions, one thing is certain: Students will need us, as educators, to be guiding forces, calming influences, and effective teachers. Students will return to school in some way, either physically, remotely, or some sort of hybrid. Whatever the form school takes, students will need rigorous instruction paired with a welcoming and supportive setting. This webinar will provide specific tips on structuring your entire school and each classroom for success while meeting your students' basic need for a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment.

As parents, there are times our children drive us crazy! In this time of rapid change and, for most of us, some kind of confinement at home, this can be especially true. Getting through the day can become tense, and we can be unsure about how to discipline our children.
Randy Sprick is a parent (and yes, sometimes his children drive him crazy), a grandparent, and a world leader in effective behavior management. He covers things you can do to help your children learn to behave better and become more independent and responsible.
You will learn that you are already doing many things exactly right and add strategies for making things better! Come and join us for a fun and entertaining session.
Please share this information with parents in your community.
