Workshop Details

OK.... Now what!?

What do you do when you have a child who "bucks" authority? Who is very difficult to connect with? Who seems to want the world around them to burn?

Our students are SPEAKING to us through their anger, silence, refusals, elopement, even absences, but are we LISTENING to what each of them are telling us? If you are looking for practical solutions to implement in your classroom or school tomorrow, please join us! We have done the boots-on-the-ground research and have collected the data for you- let us share practical tips for reaching the students whose message is that they only want to connect with us. In this session you will come away with strategies that you can implement in your classroom to improve the connections between yourself and all of your students, not just those that struggle. You will be challenged to look at your own behavior and beliefs and there may be some growth on your part as well.

Recertification Certificate

Recertification Certificates (5 points) will be given at the end of the PD workshop series after completion of an electronic exit survey.

Audience

Teachers:  Grades K-5,  Special Education Teachers,  Instructional Coaches, Administrators

Angie Davidson

Angie Davidson is on a mission to create and shape environments to allow struggling students to achieve success and thrive in public school settings. Trained as an educator with a degree in Human Services and a Masters in Education from Virginia Tech, she spent ten years as a teacher in an elementary setting. In 2021, her love for struggling students drove her to begin her BCBA certification, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and begin a new position as an Intervention Specialist for multiple elementary schools in Salem City. During the 2022- 2023 school year she successfully decreased negative behaviors in 95% of teacher referrals by using her regulation station room, FBAs, and individual targeted behavior plans. In 2023, she became a licensed BCBA and was hired as Salem City’s BCBA where she works with all six schools in the district. She has since completed workshops for the VaSCL, region VI YMCAs and VDOE.

Stephanie Staples

Stephanie Staples is currently a kindergarten teacher in Salem City Schools. As an educator in Title 1 schools for the entirety of her career, the transient populations that she has served have made her understand the necessity of flexibility, stability and the importance of compassion. She has a Bachelors of Art, and obtained her teaching license the same year and she has been teaching for 25 years with a variety of students with many different needs. Her passion lies with the children that seem to be the most challenging. She has since completed workshops for the VaSCL and VDOE. “I am the sunshine or I am the storm
