Miriam Campbell (Skills for Connection) is a SLP, MSW and teacher. She developed a SEL RTI model that schools and therapists are loving! It is adaptable, supports teachers and is the only effective generalization model. School leaders are revolutionizing the way they support SEL development with this tool. Check out her website https://skillsforconnection.com/.

• SEL RTI model
• Generalization - can’t teach kids generalized skills unless you have a system in place.
• Reinforce skills that kids are learning in therapy
• Bonus: it helps teachers as well
• Teachers have to be the owners of it.
• When behaviors get in the way of our goals, they are problems.
• How to develop kids into the adults we want them to be.
• Starting basic, with something like self-awareness.
• “I see I think I feel I choose” as a construct to help kids self-regulate
• Tier 2 and Tier 3 responses are more repetition and deeper conversations
• “My Teacher needs to understand me.” is not a helpful self-talk strategy, but our teachers do need to understand our kids.
• How to be a transformative principal? Behaviors are learning opportunities.

Lead a school everyone can be proud of.

Being a principal is tough work. You’re pulled in all kinds of directions. You never have the time to do the work that really matters. Join me as I help school leaders find the time to do the work they became principals to do.

I help you stop putting out fires and start leading.
