88th Annual CASCWA State Conference

Students sometimes express their respectable and valid goals, values, challenges and pain through problematic behaviors. This presentation and facilitated discussion will identify activities and social-emotional learning that support prevention and provide positive, viable alternatives to the problematic behaviors. We can highlight and provide these opportunities for students to experience  ̶  often led by students. This approach is a key alternative to punitive, exclusionary practices! This workshop stands alone and supports another presentation, Drum Circle (real): A Participatory Example of Positive Alternatives to Negative Behavior.
