From the Archives: Strategies for Defusing and De-escalating Behaviors

Today's episode is a conversation from last year about the uptick we have seen with behavior issues--both in frequency and severity. So how can we help our students (and ourselves) with these issues? Today, Tim talks to Janet Taylor and Christine Cusack about strategies to defuse and de-escalate behaviors when students become dysregulated. Listen as they discuss how behavior is a type of communication, why we may need to re-frame our assumptions, and how you can find the resources needed to best handle these issues.  Resources and Links Read the article from Janet and Chris See all of AOEU's Resources for SEL in the Art Room Recommendations from Chris: Book 1, Book 2, Book 3
