IT'S TIME TO FLIP THIS ON ITS HEAD 👇

We spend 90% of our time on strategies that move the needle 10% on behavior.

That method's not working.

What good are strategies if they don't get to the root of the problem?

Stop cycling through strategies like you're on a strategy merry-go-round 🎠

We can't keep wasting our time trying to solve ONLY what we see, it's time we dig deeper and get to the NEEDS.

After 3 days of a student falling behind, they’re avoiding work like the plague.

When you press them about it they explode 🤯.

In the world of teaching “behavior management” has turned into a full time job.
BUT you can’t “manage behavior” without managing a nervous system.

The 5 NEEDS isn’t just another strategy. It’s an entirely different lens to understand and respond to behavior…

…. In developmentally and psychologically appropriate ways.

We rack our brains, spend hours troubleshooting, discussing, researching & planning for us to be exhausted and worn down by just the process.

Everyone's got their own unique advice and you’re exhausted 😩.

Or worse you know what the issue is but don’t know where to start.

I get it, I was on the strategy merry-go-round 🎠.
One student or class would take up all of my mental energy until I was exhausted and cycling through methods and tools and nothing worked 😵‍💫.

The strategies were often just my best guess solutions to my best guess of what the problem was 😫.

It wasn’t until I started looking at behavior—and the strategies I was using—through the lens of psychological NEEDS that things actually started working.

Picture of Brittany founder of teaching to a riot standing infront of a colorful mural smiling and looking to the left. She is wearing jeans and a tshirt that says special educators save the world.

Students started asking more relevant questions, being more kind & empathetic, and started experimenting with what they were learning. 

The issue isn’t that the strategies, knowledge, tips & tricks aren’t out there...

...the strategies we’re using aren’t targeting the right thing/s.

We NEED to start making sure
strategies target what they need to target.

We NEED to start asking better questions.
Questions that involve the 5 NEEDS
and how they might be compromised
for “that” particular student.

🧐 What if you’re toughest student had all 5 of their NEEDS met in your classroom?

What if that student truly felt safe, comfortable, autonomous, and competent? What if they felt like they really belonged? How do you think that would change their behavior?

Find out now, get the Toolkit ->

If you knew how to spot the missing NEED—and pick the right strategy to meet it—you could:

  • Save time guessing & riding the strategy merry-go-round
  • Create lessons and projects with the foresight to provide support strategically and prevent disruptions.
  • Have an action plan that moves the needle on improving executive function skills like focus, attention & working memory.
  • Execute and master the process until you become a behavior guru

GET READY FOR A DOPAMINE HIT!

The Meet the Needs Method is an adventure!

You’re going to transform how you think about behavior for the rest of your life.

When you understand how Psychological needs influence other people’s and even your own behavior- you begin to view the world differently.

"When you understand how psychological NEEDS influence other people’s and even your own behavior- you begin to view the world differently."

Can you imagine the shift if everyone knew that safety, comfort, autonomy, belonging, and competence were the key ingredients to mental well being? If we were taught how to meet these needs in school?

Imagine if that’s what you prioritized and emphasized in your classroom and you could help meet these NEEDS for all of your students and for yourself.

😱 That’s MASS benefits of psychological well being right there. 🤩

It’s time to wave 👋 buh-bye to the endless strategy merry-go-round and say HELLO 👋 to something more sustainable and WAY MORE FUN!

The Neurodivergent Toolkit & Workshop

I’ve packaged up the NEED to know research, what it looks like in the classroom for neurodivergent students, and organized over 100 strategies and explain how, why and when you’d use them.

I’m giving you the exact model for you to turn your classroom into a NEED meeting machine, rawr.

Oh and did I mention the process begins to reinforce itself!

When it comes to transforming YOUR classroom & instruction, I want YOU in the drivers seat, vroom vroom 🏎️.

What’s inside the Toolkit & Workshop 👇

Move Beyond Behavior

 “Student behavior” is maybe the vaguest term we could use in this space, because behavior is literally any movement, utterance, gesture, expression or action...

When students roll their eyes, smile, pick their nose, tie their shoes- those are all behaviors. 

Figuring out the behavior that stems from compromised needs is the key to finding where best to direct your time and energy.

You’ll learn the benefits of focusing on NEEDS, the 2 methods for finding the NEED you should target, and my go-to, pretty simple, strategy for interviewing your students and using the results to meet… you guessed it... NEEDS!

Find The Missing Need

Both the Toolkit and the workshop help you strategically outline your approach to meeting needs in your classroom and instruction. No more arguing, yelling, bribing, punishing to get “a few good days” only for it to hit like a tsunami on Friday.

The Toolkit and Workshop equip you with a ways to improve cognitive energy that increases focus and attention through the 5 steps of the Meet the NEEDS Method.

I’ll walk you through how to determine which of the 5 NEEDS is consistently unmet or at the ROOT of the behavior, different ways to meet the NEED, and give you strategies that lead to multiple needs at once.

You never want to be throwing darts blindfolded, that’s not how you play darts.

Don’t try to hit a moving target, like behavior, blindfolded either. 

With the Toolkit you’ll always be able to choose the best strategy, advocate for the right supports, and implement plans with a much broader intention and influence, not just for the sake of “having something in place”.

Pick The Best Strategy

Ever wish you didn’t have to argue that certain behavior’s are “a choice” or wish you didn’t have to fight for resources that help with wellbeing and mental health? Want an easier way to reference research, language, and evidence based concepts on learning and motivation that’s well organized and you can pull out at a meeting with your principal, dean of students or parents?

Wonder if it’s harmful to hold boundaries around bathroom breaks or exert control over how often students use the break area?

 I help you follow a plan, execute strategies and make adjustments that support executive functioning, decrease unnecessary cognitive load, increase trust and belonging, hold healthy boundaries, and boost student voice and ownership by meeting needs

Be more intentional with your mental energy and begin to target what you need to with strategies you know and a lot of new ones (100 to be exact).

 You begin to ask the right questions, look in the right directions, and design/choose the right strategies and supports for the job.

You’ll have everything you need to reinvent, reintroduce, and experiment with the strategies, lesson plans, templates and knowledge, so you’re not always flailing to find solutions in the moment and instead following steps & repurposing tools, activities and knowledge you already have in front of you.

Refine Your Process

Meeting NEEDS is all about starting small, systemizing and then working your way forward.

The Toolkit give you the most effective tips for infusing NEEDS into your lessons, instruction, routines, activities, and classroom design so you can spend less time negotiating and more time teaching.

I’ll also show you how to track the changes to see what’s working well- and what you can potentially ditch in your efforts. (Yup, efficiency is key.)

The Neurodivergent Toolkit provides the framework to creatively & sustainably transform your instruction & environment to focus on & meet psychological NEEDS.

You’ll now choose steps, tools, and strategies that you and your students will feel good about after the bell rings and you’re at home.
