The amount of care, the direction, how easy it is to get started.
I teach 8th grade science and am the head of our instructional team. This year we have been struggling with behavior and attendance.
Our district purchased this bundle for our team and we started working through it during our PLC’s along with the UDL guidelines by CAST. It’s fantastic.
We weren’t able to find a resource that covered both the why and what to do, and I am so glad our district went with this one. The way she combines the understanding behind why the strategies work and why so many of our ADHD students are struggling made it so much easier to implement everything we’re getting from CAST in a way that actually helps the kids in the ways that we need.
From myself, and everyone at SW campus-thank you.
Hi Al, this is so touching. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and advocate for our resources. We are transforming more and more classrooms everyday and it's stories like yours that help us gain traction and get to more teachers. We truly appreciate this Al and we hope that the resource keeps on giving! Oh and don't forget you get the updates so keep an eye out for any new additions :)
I have really enjoyed the resources so far. I am hoping to use a few of the self-regulation tools with a student diagnosed with DMDD. Fingers crossed...
Hi Kay, we're so glad you're enjoying the toolkits! Wishing you the best with using the self-regulation tools with your student. Fingers crossed for great progress! Make sure to check out coaching in The Neighborhood on Monday and Thursday nights from 7-7:30 pm EST :)
The toolkit is *chef’s kiss* in so many ways! The landing page with clickable links makes it a breeze to find what I need. The checklists are realistic and measurable. The lesson plans are manageable and impactful (I’ve already implemented one!). The drive is organized and searchable.
Hi Sam, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you find the toolkit easy to use and impactful. Check out coaching in the Neighborhood Mondays and Thursday nights from 7-7:30pm EST!
Overpriced
Hey Hadia, a lot of people think that the initial slide show is the entire toolkit. There are 3 e-books, a 2 hour workshop with a workbook, ~12 lesson plans, and about 6 downloadable resources in the appendix- (which is slide 4). Were you able to access all of the above? Also we want to make this product as user friendly as possible. We take all suggestions very seriously and you have life time access to every up-graded version so please let us know! Im super serious ♥️
I glanced through some of the resources, and I was hoping to find more strategies that were proactive instead of responsive. I was hoping to spend the summer preparing, but I'm not sure if this resource is what I was exactly looking for.
Hey Kara! The behavior and needs detective has the psychological needs portion- this is where you want to dig in and have a really good understanding of what they are and how ADHD, Autism, Trauma/Anxiety, and Sensory Processing can compromise those needs.
Then the instructional and environmental strategies will help you 'be proactive'. You have to understand what you are preventing- that is the maladaptive behavior caused by chronic compromising of autonomy, belonging, and competency. The strategies specifically help you target those three needs to prevent them from being compromised.
Also- you have life time access and we upgrade every year. The suggestions that you all give us- we try to include in the upgrade. If you have specific suggestions- let us know and we will work to improve what you specifically struggled with in the next upgrade ♥️
