Meagan Schurr- Educational Behavior Consultant

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to partner with incredible educators at Region 6 and Education Service Center Region 19, and I’m just really grateful.

From diving into Autism Supplement supports to building stronger FBAs and BIPs, the level of engagement, thoughtfulness, and commitment to students has been unmatched. These rooms were filled with educators who are doing the hard work every single day, and it shows.

One of my favorite moments was receiving a message during training that said this was the best AU supplement training they’ve experienced in 7 years. That’s the goal every time, to make learning practical, meaningful, and something you can take back and use immediately.

What I love most about this work is that it’s not just about compliance, it’s about creating systems that actually support kids and the people who serve them.

Huge thank you to both regions for the warm welcome, the collaboration, and the commitment to getting it right for students. I’d come back anytime 💛

✅ The 3-to-1 Rule

3 easy tasks ➡️ 1 harder task.
This simple strategy reduces resistance and increases engagement.

⚡ Behavior Momentum: Start With Success
“Start with easy wins before harder tasks.
Confidence builds momentum — and momentum builds success.”

💬 Behavior Communicates Needs
“Attention. Escape. Tangible. Sensory.
Behavior tells us what a student needs — our job is to teach better ways to meet that need.”

👀 See Beyond the Behavior
“What looks like defiance may really be protection.
Respond with empathy, not assumptions.”

🚦 Behavior Is Not Personal
“Behavior isn’t about you.
It’s about what a student is trying to get or avoid.
When we stop taking it personally, we can teach better skills.”

🛡 Safety First
“Safety + connection = growth.
A safe classroom changes everything.”

🤝 Relationships Transform Behavior
“When students feel safe, seen, and valued, behavior changes naturally.
Connection before correction — always.”

💛 January Reset
“January isn’t about perfection — it’s about reconnecting.
Before expectations rise, rebuild relationships.
Connection sets the tone for everything that follows.”

Encourage students to recognize each other’s effort.
✨ Have a “Peer Praise Circle” — each student shares one positive observation about a classmate’s thinking, collaboration, or creativity.
It builds confidence, empathy, and community. 🤝
