Behavior problems in schools continue to rise in the wake of the pandemic. A recent
Education Week survey found that 44% of all school and district leaders say that they are receiving more threats of violence from students and over 66% of them say kids are misbehaving even more than in 2019. A
2019 survey by the Education Advisory Board found rising misbehavior even before COVID with 81% of school administrators and 71% of elementary school teachers reported that the frequency of disruptive behaviors (tantrums, bullying, defiance) in schools was “more” or “significantly more” than during the three previous years. A
2018 study by the
Journal of the American Medical Association found that the prevalence of ADHD has increased from 6.1% to 10.2% over the last 20 years.
This conference will focus on the brain science behind disruptive behaviors, executive deficits, emotional dysregulation, and learning disorders. Explore evidence-based strategies for dealing with challenging behaviors, ADHD, autism, LD, and bullying and for improving emotional self-regulation, executive skills, classroom management, discipline, and school climate.
