Let’s be honest - when behaviors are high and time is short, “Choose Love” can feel like one more thing on your plate. If you’ve ever thought, “This is great… but what about that kid?”—this session is for you. We’ll bridge the gap between behavior management and heart work by giving you simple, realistic ways to use Choose Love in your classroom—especially in the moments that feel the hardest. This isn’t about excusing behavior—it’s about understanding what’s driving it and responding in a way that actually leads to change. Structure and support don’t compete… they work together. Walk away with practical strategies that support regulation, improve behavior, and actually make your day-to-day feel more manageable.
This professional development session is designed to deepen teachers’ understanding of supplemental aids and their role in supporting student success. Participants will learn how supplemental aids are defined according to TEA and explore the research-based reasons they have a meaningful impact on learning. The session will highlight a variety of supplemental aids for both instruction and assessment across content areas. Teachers will also gain access to a curated Google Drive of ready-to-use resources for RLA, Math, and Science in grades K–5.
