The disruption to the classroom and the energy that the educator must expend to address behavioral issues can create serious roadblocks to learning. Situations with difficult students have a way of intensifying quickly. Before an educator realizes what is happening, an annoying situation can escalate into a fullblown crisis. Suddenly it is no longer the student’s problem, but the educator’s problem. Even well-seasoned, awardwinning master educators can be rattled by certain types of students in specific situations. This power-packed seminar will provide you with up-to-date insights and strategies for reaching and helping these students who can evoke strong feelings of frustration and discouragement. Educators will learn a five-step responsibility-centered approach that has been proven effective in helping educators become masters of challenging moments with students. These skills complement and supplement Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS). 10:00 – 10:15 10:15 – 12:00 12:00 – 1:00 1:00 – 2:15 2:15 – 2:30 2:30 – 3:30 3:45 – 4:15 Larry Thompson Registration What Makes Some Behaviors So “Difficult”? • Recognizing the Underlying (and Often Unseen) Causes of Difficult Behavior • Why So Many Current School/Classroom Discipline Methods Fail • The “Four R’s” and the “Missing R” of Working with Difficult Students • Addressing Three Levels of Challenge Intensity Break Insights, Tips & Strategies • Attention-Seeking Students (Such as Self-Centered or Narcissistic Students, Class Clowns & Grandstanders) • Manipulative Students (Such as Social/Emotional Game-Playing, Bullying, Rumoring/Gossiping & Persistently Dishonest Students) • Angry & Defiant Students (Such as Argumentative, Authority-Testing & Resistant Students or Those with Temper Outbursts) • Apathetic Students (Such as Disengaged, Unmotivated, Uncaring & Unresponsive Students) Lunch (on your own) Keys to Becoming a Master of Challenging Moments • Migrating from an Obedience-Centered Approach to a Responsibility-Centered Approach • Employing “Guided Conversations” to Address Critical Moments • Five Key Steps for Transferring Ownership of the Behavior to the Student • Do’s and Don’ts for Establishing Student Responsibility Break Tying It All Together • Helping a Team of Educators Build Stronger Insights and Commitments toward “Difficult Students” • Implementing Five Key Steps “in the Moment” • Handling Particularly Challenging Issues with Students • Review of the Top 10 Insights and Practices Questions and Answers (Optional Attendance) • Recommended Do’s And Don’ts to Address Specific Behaviors • Key Strategies for Migrating from an Obedience-Centered Approach to a Responsibility-Centered Approach • Innovative Ways to Support Positive Behavior • Strategies for Preventing the Escalation of Difficult Behavior Who Should Attend? • Classroom Teachers • Principals • Assistant Principals • Deans of Students • Behavioral Specialists • School Counselors You Will Receive: • School Social Workers (All Levels) • School Psychologists • Special Education Personnel • After-School Program Coordinators To augment the PowerPoint presentation and hands-on activities, each participant will receive a handout full of ideas, forms, activities and other suggested resources.

The disruption to the classroom and the energy that the educator must expend to address behavioral issues can create serious roadblocks to learning. Situations with difficult students have a way of intensifying quickly. Before an educator realizes what is happening, an annoying situation can escalate into a fullblown crisis. Suddenly it is no longer the student’s problem, but the educator’s problem. Even well-seasoned, awardwinning master educators can be rattled by certain types of students in specific situations. This power-packed seminar will provide you with up-to-date insights and strategies for reaching and helping these students who can evoke strong feelings of frustration and discouragement. Educators will learn a five-step responsibility-centered approach that has been proven effective in helping educators become masters of challenging moments with students. These skills complement and supplement Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS). 10:00 – 10:15 10:15 – 12:00 12:00 – 1:00 1:00 – 2:15 2:15 – 2:30 2:30 – 3:30 3:45 – 4:15 Larry Thompson Registration What Makes Some Behaviors So “Difficult”? • Recognizing the Underlying (and Often Unseen) Causes of Difficult Behavior • Why So Many Current School/Classroom Discipline Methods Fail • The “Four R’s” and the “Missing R” of Working with Difficult Students • Addressing Three Levels of Challenge Intensity Break Insights, Tips & Strategies • Attention-Seeking Students (Such as Self-Centered or Narcissistic Students, Class Clowns & Grandstanders) • Manipulative Students (Such as Social/Emotional Game-Playing, Bullying, Rumoring/Gossiping & Persistently Dishonest Students) • Angry & Defiant Students (Such as Argumentative, Authority-Testing & Resistant Students or Those with Temper Outbursts) • Apathetic Students (Such as Disengaged, Unmotivated, Uncaring & Unresponsive Students) Lunch (on your own) Keys to Becoming a Master of Challenging Moments • Migrating from an Obedience-Centered Approach to a Responsibility-Centered Approach • Employing “Guided Conversations” to Address Critical Moments • Five Key Steps for Transferring Ownership of the Behavior to the Student • Do’s and Don’ts for Establishing Student Responsibility Break Tying It All Together • Helping a Team of Educators Build Stronger Insights and Commitments toward “Difficult Students” • Implementing Five Key Steps “in the Moment” • Handling Particularly Challenging Issues with Students • Review of the Top 10 Insights and Practices Questions and Answers (Optional Attendance) • Recommended Do’s And Don’ts to Address Specific Behaviors • Key Strategies for Migrating from an Obedience-Centered Approach to a Responsibility-Centered Approach • Innovative Ways to Support Positive Behavior • Strategies for Preventing the Escalation of Difficult Behavior Who Should Attend? • Classroom Teachers • Principals • Assistant Principals • Deans of Students • Behavioral Specialists • School Counselors You Will Receive: • School Social Workers (All Levels) • School Psychologists • Special Education Personnel • After-School Program Coordinators To augment the PowerPoint presentation and hands-on activities, each participant will receive a handout full of ideas, forms, activities and other suggested resources.
