Replacing "Challenging" Behavior with Meaningful Skills
2026-05-07 15:30 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual via Zoom
Instead of just trying to eliminate challenging behaviors, what if we replaced it with something more functional? This session focuses on teaching replacement behaviors that meet the same needs, whether it’s escape, attention, or sensory input. You’ll learn how to uncover the root cause (function), identify lagging skills, and explicitly teach alternatives using visuals, modeling, and practice. We will also cover how to embed this instruction into your daily routines, without overloading your day. Ideal for educators supporting students with emotional or behavioral challenges who want long-term change, not just short-term compliance.

Leadership Cohort #7 - Board Administrative Relations
2026-05-12 15:30 - 17:00 | Virtual via Zoom
Governing Board members are important stakeholders in a community/charter school. Schools overall perform better when governing boards and leaders operate in a collaborative manner, with shared goals in mind. But is your board “on board”? Learn how to be positive and proactive in defining shared goals and delineating board-administrative roles and responsibilities. Share out your best ideas for effective board and committee meetings. The BCHF Leadership Cohort is a safe space for dialogue among school leaders, sharing out of best practices, and discussing problems and solutions. Join us for some important YOU time!

Feedback in Mathematics: Supporting Learning, Identity, and Agency
2026-05-13 15:30 - 17:00 | Virtual via Zoom
Feedback in math class should do more than correct-it should build understanding, confidence, and ownership. This session focuses on how to give feedback that affirms students as mathematical thinkers. Participants will analyze student work to practice feedback strategies that promote growth and reasoning. Leaders will also explore how to apply these principles in coaching conversations and walkthroughs to foster a culture of meaningful learning and reflection.

Teach Like a Champion 4
2026-05-14 15:30 - 16:30 | Virtual via Zoom
This is the fourth and final session for the book study on Teach Like A Champion’s Guide to the Science of Reading. Anyone can attend any session! Attendees who register and attend at least two sessions will receive a copy of the book. In this concluding meeting, we synthesize our learning by focusing on the purpose of literacy instruction. We will explore The Power of the Book, discussing why sustained engagement with whole texts is the optimal format for building understanding and comprehension. We will then tackle Close Reading, reframing it as the intentional, final act of intellectual rigor. We will share concrete strategies for improving students’ ability to access and analyze complex texts, equipping them with the skills necessary for long-term academic and professional success.
