On-Site Professional Development to Meet the Needs of Today’s Students
Equity. Social-emotional learning. Trauma. Learning loss.
How prepared are your educators to provide the support and guidance your students need to excel in the classroom and beyond? Investing in your team with engaging professional development experiences has never been more important.
AccuTrain’s curriculum of on-site training solutions can help your staff strengthen skills sets and provide a positive, caring learning environment at your school. For more than 20 years, our training sessions have been acclaimed for their informative, practical content and expert presenters.
Responsibility-Centered Discipline
Working with difficult, demanding, and disruptive students is not a new challenge for educators. However, there are current concerns being voiced regarding the changing nature and intensity of the behaviors of these students. Some educators are reporting increases in selfish, manipulative and hostile behaviors while others are noticing more students who are overly anxious and/or difficult to engage.
Positive Behavioral Support for Students Who Are Wired Differently
Studies show that approximately 20 percent of all students are diagnosable for a mental, emotional or behavioral health issue. This seminar will help counselors, teachers and other professionals understand how to support and teach this high-potential portion of the student population while avoiding an unmanageable classroom environment.
Girl Drama
Based upon the latest brain reseach, as well as current best practices, these interventions can be used to revive, launch or sustain efforts to prevent drama and emotional violence among girls. Without help, girls who are targets often suffer lasting effects – including academic withdrawal, social withdrawal, depression, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, delinquency, crime, dysfunctional relationships, self-injury and even suicide.
Lost Boys
Boys are held back in school twice as often as girls. Boys also get expelled from preschool nearly five times more often than girls, and they are diagnosed with learning disorders and attention problems at nearly four times the rate of girls.
How to Reach the (Sometimes) Hard-to-Reach
Based upon the latest brain reseach, as well as current best practices, these interventions can be used to revive, launch or sustain efforts to prevent drama and emotional violence among girls. Without help, girls who are targets often suffer lasting effects – including academic withdrawal, social withdrawal, depression, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, delinquency, crime, dysfunctional relationships, self-injury and even suicide.
Overcoming Distraction, Disruption & Marginalization
The vision of any school likely commits to serving “all kids.” But the reality of our current climate of distraction, disruption and marginalization often prohibits the realization of this vision. This on-site training examines the biology of pre-adolescent and adolescent brains, the latest research behind Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the Trauma-Impacted Learner – as well as the biases and prejudices that hinder our ability to work better together.
Critical Mental Health Challenges
The numbers for suicide among students continue to trend upward – to the point that many states and districts now require teachers and other educators to be trained in suicide awareness. Last year’s vastly popular NetFlix series, 13 Reasons Why, served to increase the discussion about suicide but also increased online searches on how to commit suicide by 26 percent. At the same time, non-suicidal self-injury, including cutting, has increased at an alarming rate over the past decade.
Preventing Digital Dependence, Disinhibition & Aggression
Social media is mostly positive, according to 1 in 3 teens. Meanwhile about 1 in 4 sees social media as mostly negative – and view the main pitfalls as bullying, social drama, decreased in-person interactions, distorted reality, distraction and addiction. Educators and parents might add other concerns such as disinhibition, depression, anxiety, impulsivity, dependence and compulsivity to name a few. The COVID-19 pandemic presented a necessary increase in technology engagement that has changed the landscape of education as well as the student experience.
Self-Injury & Suicide Prevention
Based upon the latest brain reseach, as well as current best practices, these interventions can be used to revive, launch or sustain efforts to prevent drama and emotional violence among girls. Without help, girls who are targets often suffer lasting effects – including academic withdrawal, social withdrawal, depression, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, delinquency, crime, dysfunctional relationships, self-injury and even suicide.
Engaging the Traumatized Child
The numbers for suicide among students continue to trend upward – to the point that many states and districts now require teachers and other educators to be trained in suicide awareness. Last year’s vastly popular NetFlix series, 13 Reasons Why, served to increase the discussion about suicide but also increased online searches on how to commit suicide by 26 percent. At the same time, non-suicidal self-injury, including cutting, has increased at an alarming rate over the past decade.
Self-Regulation
In this one-day seminar, the presenter will provide recommendations and strategies that you will be able to use with all students, and in particular with students who have behavioral and/or emotional self-control issues. Included will be practical insights, recommendations and learning activities that are based upon the evidence-based approaches used in cognitive-behavior psychology.
