Classroom disruptions, behavior management issues, and absenteeism are on the rise in American education, leaving teachers with less time to do what they love – teach. According to EdWeek Research Center, more than 70% of teachers have reported an increase in disruptive classroom behavior, up from 66% prior to the pandemic. To help educators address these issues, our RethinkEd team has announced two new solutions aimed at addressing the increase in student behavior-related challenges that are impacting time spent on classroom instruction and hampering efforts to retain teachers. The RethinkEd Behavior Suite and Professional Development (PD) Behavior Training Series offer a comprehensive evidence-based solution that provides school districts and teachers behavior management training tools and support designed to achieve better student outcomes and improved teacher efficacy and job satisfaction. “Disruptive behaviors, chronic absenteeism and low student morale have become too commonplace in America’s classrooms, particularly since students returned to in-person learning after the pandemic. Juggling these new challenges have left teachers frustrated, with many leaving the profession they loved because of stress and burnout,” said Diana Frezza, general manager and executive vice president of RethinkEd. “Our Behavior Suite and PD training provides school districts and teachers a complete solution to tackle this problem head on. Data-based decision making and targeted interventions, combined with training on behavior skills that promote their success, offer a holistic approach to address the needs of students and teachers alike.” Read the full press release here: https://bit.ly/4f4tW8O #BehaviorManagement #TeacherRetention #Education #Learning #Teachers #Educators #EdTech #Schools #ProfessionalDevelopment
