When Rewards and Punishments Fail: Engagement and Connections Strategies
Why do behaviorism strategies fail a lot of students and leave educators frustrated? What do sticker charts, candy, trophies, scales, sightreading, theory worksheets have in common? They are types of reinforcements! What if those failed to motivate your student? They still didn’t practice. They forgot their music for the 3rd time! Don’t pull your hair out or wring your hands! Let’s put on the trauma-informed lens and dive into the world of connection and engagement.

My Journey into Trauma-Informed Education:
A blog post of answers to the questions I am frequently asked.
Speaker Invitations:
I am available for in-person or virtual presentations to teacher associations and student groups. Presentations are usually one hour long, introducing trauma-informed pedagogy and/or Trust-Based Relational Intervention® strategies I use in the private studio and class setting. Please contact me for scheduling and availability.
Private Consultations:
For more specific assistance, I offer 30-min or 1-hour phone or video-conference private consultations for teachers. Please also inquire about pricing and schedule availability.
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® Caregiver Training
As a TBRI® Practitioner, I can offer training sessions. However, there are specific guidelines I need to adhere to on how training sessions are conducted. Please leave me your contact information so we can discuss this further.
TBRI® Resources
The Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development website contains a lot of resources for teachers and maintains an active YouTube Channel. The institute annually offers training sessions on "TBRI® and Trauma-Informed Classrooms". As you begin your journey to become trauma-informed, browsing this resource page would be an excellent first step.
