This workshop is a must for any teacher.

Winter Institute 2024 attendee, Upper School Teacher

Exceeded my expectations! I loved the presentation and how we had to work collaboratively.

Winter Institute 2024 attendee, Lower School Teacher

I am VERY much enjoying this and eager to continuing the book and session. Already it has helped me have a mindset shift regarding children who might come to school with a smaller window of tolerance.

Book Club attendee, Lower School Teacher

Very insightful! Thank you!

Winter Institute 2023 attendee, 1st Grade Teacher

Good discussion and points raised to think about. Well planned with lots of helpful resources. Thank you!

Winter Institute 2023 attendee, 5th Grade Teacher

Well-planned and well-paced. Good models of projects, and I like the links to actual projects that kids have done. Lots of good resources.

Winter Institute 2023 attendee, Middle School Teacher

Great interactive session. Left with lots to think about in how AI can help differentiate education in the classroom.

Winter Institute 2023 attendee, Administrator

I think this will really shape the attention that I give to children when they are exhibiting dysregulated behaviors. Furthermore, I love the idea of a "time in" with a teacher vs. time out. Especially given the nature of my job, I think this is a tool I can readily use!
