Transforming your Classroom Climate
FULLY FUNDED MARIPOSA TRAINING OPPORTUNITY!
Foster Self Control, Motivation, and Perseverance
Research shows that children need both positive and constructive feedback to grow, learn and participate in school. In this mini-course, we teach the research around how much positive children need to learn and grow, as well as what types of feedback are effective in increasing positive behaviors and effort. And conversely, when teachers need to get behavior change quickly, for safety and control, how you do so matters. We give you the strategies and language to both reinforce positive efforts and behaviors effectively AND to get control and behavior change more quickly while also building self control.
There are limited spaces for educators and childcare providers in Baltimore Jewish schools and centers to take this Mariposa Education 4 COK training hour course, fully funded by The Crane Foundation.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to create an effective balance of positive to constructive feedback
- How to reinforce positive behavior to increase positive efforts, motivation and perseverance
- Key strategies to help gain control and change behavior when you need it most

Our Team
Our passionate instructors and staff provide expert facilitation and support.
Anne Townsend, Ph.D.
I’m a social-emotional scientist and for more than 2 decades I’ve been researching how children of all ages develop the social-emotional skills they need to be successful in school and in life. I founded Mariposa with a mission to change the lives of children through our proprietary method. Mariposa is an official partner with Loyola University where I have developed and taught a graduate level course on promoting social-emotional learning as well as an advanced course specifically focused on the role of stress and trauma in a child’s ability to learn, form relationships and behave appropriately.
Jenny Barrett, M.Ed.
As an early childhood educator for 30 years, a special educator, an administrator and parent, I have found this method the single most impactful in all of the training I have had. I was first able to bring this into a school community as an administrator. Seeing the culture that we have been able to create at one Baltimore city preschool, has been transformational. And through Mariposa,I am committed to bringing this approach to as many educators and parents as possible. Because I see the impact of it. And through facilitator training with The National SEED project, (Seeking Equity and Educational diversity,) I've seen the overlap and importance of this work , as well as how the Mariposa method supports culturally responsive teaching.
