BECKY O. - MISSOURI - COURSE - POSITIVE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT - MAY 24, 2022
Bright Minds Training shares valuable information that teachers can incorporate into their daily lesson plan. If a teacher wants to expand her lessons in music, art, science, handling emotions of toddlers, etc., Bright Minds Training has sound suggestions to increase students’ education and also take time to comfort and explain to students when there are negative comments and/or actions from other students.
