Empowering Teachers to Create Calm, Positive Classroom Cultures

Wednesday June 18, 2025 9:00am - 11:30am CDT

Benilde-St. Margaret's

Students today are presenting with higher - and different- behavioral, mental health, and social emotional needs than ever before. Many of the ‘tried and true’ approaches to classroom management are falling short, because the students we work with today are very different from our students of the past. This can be attributed to many factors, social media, COVID, cultural shifts, etc. but the fact remains the same: we need new approaches to creating calm and positive classroom environments because as behaviors increase, so does the likelihood of teacher stress and burnout. This workshop will provide school leaders with tools to support individual staff who are experiencing an increase in classroom behaviors, and will discuss current, research-based, school-wide interventions and solutions to promoting calm, productive, and joyful classrooms.
