Are schools truly preparing our kids for success, or are parents being kept in the dark? In this episode, I explore the shocking disconnect between what parents believe about their children’s academic performance and the stark reality of national proficiency data. Inspired by a recent Time article, we’ll explore why 90% of parents think their kids excel, while only a fraction meet grade-level standards.

November 14, 2024 Methods to Eliminate Unwanted Behaviors with Dr. Bethany
Dr. Bethany is the founder of C.O.R.E Methods. She has helped countless schools and parents eliminate unwanted behaviors at home and school.
They are on a mission to help others feel safe; physically and psychologically where people can fully experience their feelings and select their behaviors. They aim to work with all the systems within an individual’s life to integrate techniques that decrease unwanted behaviors while developing beneficial behaviors.
The C.O.R.E team will work with clients in their environment to assess school and classroom values. From there, a plan is created to guide the client toward success by providing recognition and sensory feedback.
Their approach to unwanted behaviors is unique to what I have seen in the schools I have worked in.
If you would like to work with Bethany and her team check out her amazing resources!
