    When students struggle with behavior, there’s often more beneath the surface — thoughts and emotions we can’t easily observe. This session will explore how educators can uncover what’s really driving student behavior, expanding on the standard “Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence (ABC)” approach.

    Whether you’re a school or district leader, teacher, counselor, or support staff, you’ll leave with practical tools to better understand and support the students who need it most.
