This workshop provides a unique opportunity for you to focus on a behavior or motivational issue from your own classroom experience. At the beginning of the week, you will be asked to identify the issue. The rest of the week is focusing on developing an action plan that utilizes Responsive Classroom strategies. You'll benefit from the support of fellow educators who will help you hone in on strategies that will effectively address your issue.
