Student-Centered Focus
For those who work directly with students and want to strengthen how they understand and respond to behavior, regulation, and engagement in real time.

Student-Centered Focus dives into what shapes learning and behavior and how aligning responses with current needs can shift what’s possible in the classroom.

Dual Focus
For those whose work includes supporting adults in addition to students, such as through collaboration, consultation, or leadership.

Dual Focus includes everything taught in Student-Centered Focus and extends that learning into adult-facing work.

Student-Centered Focus

Participants develop the capacity to:

• Understand student behavior through a regulation- and capacity-informed lens
• Recognize how stress, arousal, and nervous system states shape learning and behavior in real time
• Respond to students in ways that support engagement, regulation, and growth during moments of challenge
• Use awareness of brain and body states to apply strategies and understand why an approach might work in one moment and not another
• Recognize missing elements in universal and social-emotional learning programs and identify simple ways to incorporate these critical pieces
• Identify patterns that lead to escalation and interrupt stuck interaction cycles
• Design classroom environments that support increasing independence and responsibility over time
• Collect and use meaningful data to guide the creation of layered support plans

Dual Focus

In addition to learning everything in the Student-Centered Focus, participants develop the capacity to:

• Understand adult experience through a regulation- and capacity-informed lens and model approaches that support managing daily stress and anxiety
• Discern your role when supporting adults across different levels of readiness while strengthening their capacity to navigate challenging behaviors and complex, changing classroom dynamics
• Analyze factors impacting arousal states and relational challenges, and identify points of influence for shifting interaction patterns and supporting the development of growth-focused relationships
• Support educators in integrating missing elements within their classrooms and systems to strengthen universal programming
• Collaborate with educators to create environments where students and staff can meet regulatory needs without impacting others’ learning
• Recognize how different roles can work together in complementary ways to facilitate more effective and meaningful collaboration
• Use the Developmental Mindsets Paradigm™ to support staff from a developmental perspective, meeting them where they are

Student-Centered Focus

This focus is for educators and school staff whose work is primarily student-facing and who are responsible for responding to behavior and engagement in real time.

This includes those who:

• Work directly with students in learning environments
• Are responsible for managing behavior and supporting engagement as it unfolds
• Want to deepen their understanding of student behavior through a regulation- and capacity-informed lens
• Are looking for practical ways to respond that support learning, regulation, and growth without relying on constant intervention

Dual Focus

This focus is for those whose work includes supporting adults in educational settings, whether they work with both students and adults or primarily with adults.

This includes those who:

• Provide collaboration, consultation, coaching, or leadership to adults within schools
• Support educators in navigating behavior, learning, and classroom dynamics
• Want to strengthen their ability to work across roles, perspectives, and levels of readiness
• Are looking to apply a regulation-informed lens in ways that support both students and the adults who work with them
