  • The Preventing Power Struggles webinar gave me practical strategies and helpful language I can use with students, colleagues, supervisors, and families. I now feel more confident responding to challenging behaviors and guiding my class positively. Key phrases like “two great choices” and “this is a have-to” will improve my classroom management.
