About this Event
Join Ali Shwartz and Jodi Katz—Gateways’ Mental Health Specialist and Behavioral Specialist—for an interactive workshop designed to help educators build a successful school year from day one. We know that a significant amount of instructional time is lost each year due to the need to address challenging behaviors. That’s why it’s essential to begin the year with a strong plan for community building, clear structures and routines, and proactive behavior management. This engaging session will equip educators with practical tools and ready-to-use materials to lay a strong foundation for a thriving classroom. You’ll gain actionable strategies you can implement immediately, from proactive behavior plans and classroom management tools to frameworks for effective communication with families and school teams. The workshop will also explore how to naturally embed social-emotional learning into daily classroom life, supporting student growth and well-being in the context of a positive, structured environment. Ongoing consultation and support from Ali and Jodi throughout the school year will build upon these important proactive strategies, helping you stay confident, prepared, and supported every step of the way.
