Speaker: Jo Mascorro, M.Ed.

Description: Do these experiences sound familiar?

Arguing? Wanting to leave the bus? Throwing things? Striking out and/or self-abusive behavior demonstrations?  Simply won’t follow directions and/or comply?  Are you feeling like you’ve tried everything, and nothing seems to work?  This presentation will provide dos and don’ts when preparing for, as well as responding to, behavior demonstrations with specific emphasis on keeping staff/peers safe, preserving dignity, and considering the social/emotional development of the individual in crisis. Jo will lead attendees through group activities that take an immersive approach into addressing the various behaviors exhibited by students.
