Our summer behavior series training session Day 2 was jam-packed full of information on how to problem solve for specific student challenging behaviors. ⭐️

Today, participants learned a variety of behavior interventions, related strategies, and data collection methods that can be easily implemented by teachers and staff in the classroom. We’re excited to see this work in action as we support the needs of our students in the coming school year. ❤️🌱

What a great day! ☀️Participants learned techniques to refine essential classroom management components including teaching expectations, developing rules and procedures, increasing positive interactions, providing positive feedback, and correcting misbehavior in the most effective manner.

Who has had a Tough Kid in their class before? If this has been you, chances are that you know one student can single-handedly disrupt the learning environment you've so carefully created.

If you're interested in learning more about strategic supports designed for Tough Kids, our Tough Kid training is for you!

We have a Tough Kid training coming soon on June 20th (which is Exchange Day eligible). Register in Eduphoria soon to hold your spot. Spaces are limited! ❤️🌱

*THIS* is why we love what we do! 💛 💚 👇🏼

Wilkinson’s PRIDE (Foundations) Team was hard at work yesterday ensuring our Lions come back to a school with clear expectations, a positive and welcoming climate and a safe place for all students!

As this school year closes and we begin to look forward to a new school year, it's natural to think about how we want our classroom to look & feel. Perhaps, you're exhausted even thinking about the things that didn't go right this year. But remember: Only *you* are in control of your classroom management approach. And we have a training session designed to help!

PBIS (CHAMPS) will provide assistance to teachers on how to motivate & effectively manage student behavior to create a positive classroom learning environment. You'll learn techniques to refine essential classroom management components including teaching expectations, developing rules and procedures, increasing positive interactions, providing positive feedback, and correcting misbehavior in the most effective manner.

Please join us for Effective Classroom Management training. We have sessions designed specifically for Elementary and Intermediate teachers, and Secondary teachers. This will be offered for the full day on June 11th (and is Exchange Day eligible)!

Sending you our love as you celebrate this incredible school year! Your dedication, care, expertise, and commitment to learning & growth is what makes Conroe Independent School District the best place to be. 🩵 🌱

It's classroom packing time. As you begin to box up your goods, it's a great time to pare down so you're ready to go in August. 📦 💡

Is there anything you’re holding on to that you could reduce? Is it available digitally? Out of adoption? Don’t you have the updated version?

Our teammate, Anna, packed and unpacked bulk amounts of the long sentence strips for three classroom moves and never needed them. Don't be like Anna. 😂 ❤️

Routines build safety through predictability & consistency. Especially in these final days of school, any familiar classroom routines you can offer students will help keep their sense of felt safety intact. ❤️ 🌱

For the first time ever, the Student Support Services team is offering a Summer Behavior Series. These three training sessions are designed to all work cohesively with each other to support positive behaviors in the classroom.

We hope to see you there! ❤️🌱

Mister Rogers spoke the truth. ❤️🌱

The way this lady made us laugh (!!!) and think and question and learn…❤️🌱

We were so grateful for a day spent with campus-based behavior coaches & PBIS Liaisons to deepen our coaching CHAMPS practices from the ultimate classroom management expert herself, Tricia Skyles from Safe & Civil Schools.

This week, our team has the opportunity to meet with the incredible Tricia Skyles from Safe & Civil Schools to have deep discussions, training, coaching, and consultation. We’re SO excited to see where this work is headed. ❤️🌱

Dropping a magical Monday message this afternoon.

The *basics* are pretty simple: The most effective classroom management tool lies in the power of our student interactions. 🪄

Let's make it a wonderful week!

Relationships matter in the work we do. Teachers are there to believe in students even when they don't believe in themselves. 💚🌱

Every classroom has a daily flow of events students come to expect & rely on. We know routines provide an important sense of security for children and a predictable rhythm to their school day.

When routines change, students may feel excited, anxious, or downright out of control. This is a busy time of year with many fun special events and activities.

With this, it may feel like your normal routines begin to slip and soon you might find yourself skipping the normal morning meeting, running out of time for the end-of-day read aloud, or rushing through math in favor of a longer writing project.

Though these exciting events will inevitably impact daily routines, we *can* minimize negative side effects. First, stick to your normal schedule as much as possible, even if the activities within a part of the day look different. This means that you follow the normal blocks of time that made up a standard school day throughout the year. Second, the more we can prepare students in advance, the better. Posting your daily agendas and schedules so students know what to expect for the day is especially important throughout the remainder of the school year. ❤️🌱

The school days are dwindling, and it may feel like we've given all we have and there's simply not much left. But if we send the message that learning is over and summer break is already here, we'll spend the last couple weeks of school battling behavior rather than enjoying the time we have together.

It's a nice opportunity to remind ourselves to continue to model the behaviors we expect and be the set point of our classrooms. Remember, we can't control student behavior, but we *can* control the variables that impact it. ❤️🌱

As the year winds down, it's a great opportunity to start thinking of fresh ideas to put in place for next year. If classroom management is an area you'd like to grow, we'd love to have you join a three-part series we're offering this summer. ❤️🌱

Be sure to register in Eduphoria soon, as spots are filling up quickly!

As Russel Barkley famously said, “The children who need love the most will always ask for it in the most unloving of ways.”

It’s been a rainy & stressful week for many. We’re thinking of those facing flooding & challenges from the storm. ⛈️ 💙

Due to today's heavy rains and tomorrow's unpredictable forecast and conditions, Conroe ISD campuses will be closed on Friday, May 3.

Ms. Sydney Niemic, 4th grade teacher at
Patterson Elementary, Conroe ISD, provided a menu of inspiring messages for students as they entered for the day. Her phrase, “Take what you need” facilitated self reflection and even a bit of self-care. ❤️🌱
