The PDA Classroom Toolkit: From Theory to Practice
Move beyond theory and into practice. This workshop provides a toolkit of low-demand classroom strategies for your PDA students. You'll learn how to use declarative communication, reframe tasks, and offer choices that build trust and autonomy. We'll focus on practical, day-one techniques to reduce stress and conflict, helping your students feel safe and ready to learn. Walk away with concrete strategies that create a more successful learning environment.
