Are you ready to increase learning opportunities, reduce negative behaviors, and improve staff and student morale? Then it's time to become a brain builder! We are all aware of an alarming increase in reported behavioral disruptions in school settings. Often less understood is the critical role that the brain plays in shaping all behavior, including the challenges we face in our classrooms and beyond. Blending the latest neuroscience with practical application, this book will be your guide to wake up the creative, curious, problem-solving Upstairs Brain of staff and students. Brains are dynamic and diverse, and so are the solutions presented in this accessible resource. Facts and insights are balanced with hands-on ideas that can be implemented immediately. As educators, we have a timely opportunity to empower our students to build their own big, brave, beautiful, world-changing brains - and isn't that, after all, why we chose this profession?

The days leading up to breaks can test everyone’s patience and energy—but paraprofessionals are key to keeping learning on track. In this session, we’ll explore strategies for staying productive when students (and adults) are ready for a break, avoiding burnout from over-prompting, and keeping structure without losing the holiday spirit. Through practical tools, lighthearted activities, and stress-busting tips, paraprofessionals will learn how to support students while also taking care of themselves.

During monthly PLCs, paraprofessionals will participate in short, focused training sessions designed to strengthen their use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) observed in classrooms. Each session will connect directly to the “look-for” tool used during coaching observations, ensuring training is relevant and practical. This process ensures training is ongoing, practical, and aligned to classroom needs. By embedding EBP training into the monthly PLC cycle, paraprofessionals build confidence, improve consistency, and strengthen their ability to foster independence and success for students in inclusive settings.

Social-emotional and behavioral assessment for children and adolescents is a complex process, and the impact of assessment extends beyond the score. Linking assessment data to meaningful intervention can be a challenge. This session seeks to support practitioners in maximizing the benefit of assessment and enhancing progress with interventions linked to assessment data. This presentation will provide background and discussion on the importance of social-emotional and behavioral assessment for young people, a platform for conceptualizing the scope of these evaluations and the value of intervention on outcomes. Participants will review a variety of formal assessment measures designed to evaluate social-emotional and behavioral features (including the Risk Inventory and Strengths Evaluation, Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale, Third Edition, and others) as well as how these tools can be used to support interventions and treatment plans. Participants will leave with a knowledge of an array of social-emotional and behavioral assessment tools that can be used across a variety of populations as well as interventions and accommodations that can be generated based on assessment. The afternoon three-hour session will allow for School Psychologists and Related Service Providers to Collaborate over Legislative Changes and Case Study Scenarios.

Are you ready to increase learning opportunities, reduce negative behaviors, and improve staff and student morale? Then it's time to become a brain builder! We are all aware of an alarming increase in reported behavioral disruptions in school settings. Often less understood is the critical role that the brain plays in shaping all behavior, including the challenges we face in our classrooms and beyond. Blending the latest neuroscience with practical application, this book will be your guide to wake up the creative, curious, problem-solving Upstairs Brain of staff and students. Brains are dynamic and diverse, and so are the solutions presented in this accessible resource. Facts and insights are balanced with hands-on ideas that can be implemented immediately. As educators, we have a timely opportunity to empower our students to build their own big, brave, beautiful, world-changing brains - and isn't that, after all, why we chose this profession?
