TCB Club has been a crucial part in changing the atmosphere in my classroom. The tips and strategies that I have learned have changed the way I view challenging behaviors. The TCB Club has given me the knowledge and confidence to tackle the challenging behaviors and create a caring community in our classroom where all can learn.

…the fact that the Social Emotional Wellness Coordinator at the organization that I am a part of signed me up for the TCB Club membership makes me feel seen and believed in as a professional - and I really appreciate her support! Having all the videos and topics gives me a feeling of comfort and support. Now I’m not alone in trying to better serve my students with challenging moments during our days together. Thank you for being here and having me!

I gained confidence in my approach to challenging behavior through my anchor statement and calming action and by following the 7 Steps that TCB club has taught me. It also really works with my daughter who has special needs, plus I share these strategies and ideas with my co-educators too. I’ve learned so much from the TCB Club and continue to learn every month. 

…it has validated the importance of play based instruction for children in the programs that I work with. The strategies I learned, watching the TCB videos, has made me a better Instructional Coach for the teachers in preschool and TK. Both preschool and TK have been facing many challenging behaviors and passing along these strategies on staying calm and playing games has helped many of the teachers in our program.

Using my anchor statement and action have helped me stay focused and calm in situations that I might have otherwise have lost my cool! I’ve also been using my class puppet and it has helped so much with bringing the group together. Last, but certainly not least, the help and advice I received from Barb and fellow Club members in a coaching call has been a total game changer for my most challenging friend! Thank you all!

TCB Club has provided me with tips and ideas to use with challenging behaviors in my classroom. This includes ideas for me to do for myself to help me see what changes I need to make to ensure the students receive the best possible outcomes from their learning environment. The changes need to start within us and when we are at our best we are able to better understand and provide what the students require.
