CLASSROOM CRISIS MANAGEMENT
This program provides hands on support, consultations, modeling, coaching and resources when there are challenges in a classroom or childcare center that require immediate attention. We can help.
Even before the pandemic, educators and administrators have been reaching out regarding challenges in the classroom. When the many strategies they have in place are not working, the teacher and the administrator need help -- hands on help. Now, behaviors are getting even more challenging, and it's too much to manage each individual challenge AND teach.
Mariposa Education offers crisis management to schools by bringing years of expertise and experience to support teachers in the classroom. There is a reason why many of our tried and tested methods to help children are not working, and with Mariposa’s brain based approach to SEL, we can and have changed the trajectory for many children.
Educators and administrators have many demands on their attention and time. Mariposa consultants come to the classroom with the ability to focus completely on the children to determine sources of stress, core needs that they are struggling to meet, and the skills that they need to meet those needs. In addition, we have the bandwidth and expertise to then work with all of the adults in the child’s ecosystem, and the experience needed to create a plan to address the stress, the needs and the social emotional learning needed.
