We know that a significant amount of instructional time is lost each year due to the need to address challenging behaviors. That’s why it’s essential to begin the year with a strong plan for community building, clear structures and routines, and proactive behavior management. This engaging session will equip educators with practical tools and ready-to-use materials to lay a strong foundation for a thriving classroom. You’ll gain actionable strategies you can implement immediately, from proactive behavior plans and classroom management tools to frameworks for effective communication with families and school teams. The workshop will also explore how to naturally embed social-emotional learning into daily classroom life, supporting student growth and well-being in the context of a positive, structured environment. Ongoing consultation and support from Ali and Jodi throughout the school year will build upon these important proactive strategies, helping you stay confident, prepared, and supported every step of the way.This training is heavily subsidized using grant funding. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/dedham/foundations-first-a-launchpad-for-classroom-success/100001991709101538 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, mental-health - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 4 hours - Location: The Rashi School - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 25, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Dedham - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Rashi School - **lat**: 42.26753799999999 - **long**: -71.1972409 - **full address**: The Rashi School, 8000 Great Meadow Road, Dedham, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Foundations First: A Launchpad for Classroom Success - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/c69ef9dca3cceb26d33ef2909816ac2ce4ad2099314aba8a0a92435fa93fb89f-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781509611 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Foundations First: A Launchpad for Classroom Success being held? - **A:** Foundations First: A Launchpad for Classroom Success takes place on Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm at The Rashi School, 8000 Great Meadow Road, Dedham, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Foundations First: A Launchpad for Classroom Success? - **A:** Foundations First: A Launchpad for Classroom Success is organized by Gateways Center for Professional Learning. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
