Every day in classrooms across Kansas, educators struggle with classroom management. They try ideal after idea, practice after practice - yet continue to battle to find the right balance and structure for themselves and their students. In this interactive session, participants will learn about the Inclusive Classroom Framework, which organizes evidence-based practices within a hierarchy of classroom management domains, and guides educators to individually prioritize these domains based on the needs of their students, classroom design, and current levels of implementation. Once prioritized, the framework provides clear implementation roadmaps for each of the practices to streamline and monitor their improvement efforts. Everything from classroom organization and instructional clarity, to relationship building and teaching metacognitive strategies are built into the framework. Participants in this session will complete a brief self-reflection survey that will guide them selecting 1-2 practices for improving their classroom management and structure going forward.

This session focuses on how educators can effectively teach and sustain contextually appropriate replacement behaviors that increase student engagement and reduce disruptions. Grounded in evidence-based practices, this session provides a clear rationale for identifying appropriate replacement behaviors, and offers practical methods for delivering reinforcement that promote long-term behavior change. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies they can immediately implement to address problem behavior and support positive outcomes in their classrooms.

This session challenges the common assumption that secondary students already possess the social skills needed for success. This session introduces a practical, evidence-informed framework for planning, delivering and supporting social skill instruction in middle and high school settings. The framework includes four steps, which can be applied across a variety of settings (e.g., general education, special education), with a whole class, small group, or individual students. Participants will learn how to identify socially significant skills that complement their academic activities. To support implementation, an example instructional plan and implementation checklist will be provided. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies and tools to move from reacting to behavior to proactively teaching the skills students need to succeed.
