Understanding Student Behavior | Mental Health Matters

Paramount to fostering a successful learning and social-emotional environment - especially at the beginning of the academic year, is the need for educators to understand that both past and present experiences influence how students interact with others and engage with learning opportunities and other activities at school.
When educators prioritize relationships with students, they learn what drives the way a student thinks, behaves, interacts with others, and learns. This proactive approach ensures a smoother academic journey, reduces disruptions, and strengthens the educator-student bond.
As educators, being curious about what motivates each student enables educators to craft engaging lessons that resonate and create a classroom atmosphere where each learner feels valued and flourishes.
Attending Understanding Student Behavior is an invaluable opportunity for educators to start the year off on the right foot. As we navigate the myriad challenges in modern education, possessing tools and strategies to understand and positively influence a student’s school experience can make all the difference. This session, offered by Starr Commonwealth-a leader in childhood mental and behavioral health celebrating its 110th year of healing through trauma-informed, resilience-focused practices-will equip educators with insights, techniques, and real-world examples. Participants will leave not only with a deeper comprehension of student motivations but also with actionable steps to integrate this understanding into their teaching strategies. Start the year empowered and join us in shaping a harmonious and productive classroom environment.
