Participants will explore the impact of responsive relationships, adult mindset, and intentional classroom zoning. Through guided discussion and a classroom tour, educators will analyze how environment, schedules, and routines influence behavior. The session also includes practical strategies for promoting social skills and communication using direct teaching and visual supports. Educators will leave with tools to create structured, engaging, and supportive learning environments.
