Who would benefit from watching?


Teachers, school administrators, counselors, or parents who are seeing students with behavioral challenges that are not responding to the usual forms of discipline will see a refreshing approach that builds affinity and mutual respect.

 

How can the video series be used?

 

Each video segment is short- between five and fifteen minutes in duration- so that teaching staff can watch and discuss one segment at a time at their own convenience in all-staff meetings or small groups.  New teachers can be brought up to speed by watching the videos on their own, and then discussing the contents with other staff members.
