About This Webinar

Traditional behavior management in schools often prioritizes compliance and control while often failing to address the root causes of behavioral challenges, leaving educators stuck in reactive cycles. This session will challenge practitioners to rethink behavior through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), shifting from a discipline-first approach to a proactive, instructional approach that supports engagement, self-regulation, and executive functioning. By identifying environmental barriers and implementing UDL-aligned strategies, teachers can foster more inclusive, predictable, and supportive learning spaces that reduce behavioral incidents and empower students. 

By attending, you’ll learn: 

  • Key environmental and instructional barriers that contribute to behavioral challenges.
  • Turnkey UDL principles that can be applied to behavior support, moving beyond compliance to engagement.
  • Concrete strategies for fostering student self-regulation and autonomy.
  • Proven tools and conversation starters to support teachers in redesigning learning environments to better meet student needs.
