About Course

Enhance the mental health and happiness of your classroom.

You’re already doing a great job in the classroom. You care about your kids, you are a rockstar differentiator, and you know that our students’ mental health and safety come first. 

I’d love to help you take things up a notch with tried-and-true strategies that help all kids thrive, especially those who need the most social and emotional help. 

Together, let’s learn about the impact of trauma and implement trauma-informed teaching strategies to create healthier classrooms that benefit your kids AND you!

What Will You Learn?

  • Self-reflect on your understanding of behaviors and trauma.
  • Understand SEL competencies and how they relate to trauma responses.
  • Learn how to reframe your thoughts about student behavior to be connection-based instead of attention-seeking or defiance.
  • Understand what trauma is and how trauma is different for each individual person.
  • Understand how trauma affects the brain.
  • Understand why students respond to trauma in ways that they do.
  • Learn simple, effective interventions that all of your students can use.
  • Create plans for Tier 1 interventions (all students) as well as Tier 2 interventions (for students who are demonstrating more needs).
  • Find your power in being able to help kids, while simultaneously understanding when (and why) it's time to bring in our counselor or social worker.
  • Create and implement plans for your Tier 3 students, who are demonstrating extreme needs.
  • Understand that not all interventions work for all kids, but you will find the secret sauce for all kids to get the help they need.

Module 3 – Student-Centered Interventions
This module will help you focus your attention on interventions that you can teach explicitly and students can use on their own throughout the year.

Module 4 – Teacher-Led Interventions
This module will help you focus your attention on interventions that you'll become the expert on to help your students find emotional and academic success.

Happy Teachers

I've noticed my class this year has been struggling with grit and perseverance. I found this and used it yesterday with them. I used this as a presentation to the whole class and I typed in our answers as we went. It breaks it down in a super easy-to-understand way and my students were engaged.

I just bought your Insignificant Events Novel Study and I wanted to give you about two billion trillion thank yous. You saved me an EXTENSIVE amount of work and energy and probably about 12,000 calories from snacking and typing. So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I cannot say enough how much I LOVE this product!! It was a fantastic way to show my students that I cared about them and wanted them to succeed. It was super easy for them to fill out each day and they were honest with their needs which gave me a way to help assess how the day needed to go.

I was looking for ways to incorporate some things that would make [Morning Meeting] feel older to 5th graders. This is a great resource for that! I love your ideas, especially how you structure your time with the quadrants and your cues. Very creative.

One of the best purchases I have made. I love how the first part of this kit is so in depth and gives valuable tips for incorporating SEL into the classroom. This is especially useful for those beginning SEL or their teaching career. I can see myself using some of these resources to help train other teachers in SEL. Highly recommend Mikey's website as well. Very comprehensive and helpful. I'm following for sure!
