Randy Sprick's Safe & Civil Schools – Practical Solutions, Positive Results!

The Tough Kid Series Training

Some students exhibit behaviors that characterize them as Tough Kids:

• Intense aggression toward staff and/or students
• Arguing
• Tantrums
• Noncompliance
• Poor academic progress

Tough Kid Training is focused on providing practical and proven strategies to help students manage their behavioral excesses and deficits, and learn appropriate behaviors.

In partnership with Dr. William Jenson, lead author of The Tough Kid Book and other Tough Kid resources, Safe & Civil Schools now offers Tough Kid Training. Empower staff members with simple and practical evidence-based practices that will help your school’s Tough Kids succeed. Tough Kid training can benefit many students, not just Tough Kids, as staff learn proactive strategies that teach and motivate students to exhibit appropriate student behavior.

Training can be designed to fit the specific needs of your school and district. Basic Tough Kid training typically consists of one to two days of training that will help educators understand and change Tough Kid behavior. This training focuses on positive and reductive strategies for managing behavior and may benefit:

• General and special education teachers
• Counselors
• Instructional coaches
• School leadership
• Any educator who wants to help create productive classroom settings by managing Tough Kid behavior

Other training options include additional training days for advanced Tough Kid strategies and/or training for special audiences (e.g., school leadership, behavior specialists, teachers of students in special education who are in self-contained classrooms or have EBD diagnoses, etc.).
