Welcome!
INSIGHTS for Elementary School Educators (teachers, school counselors, school psychologists, and administrators) is a professional development program that has 6 one-hour asynchronized lessons and 7 synchronized one-hour sessions program that assists K-8 educators in recognizing children’s temperaments/personalities and then how to use strategies that reduce children’s behavior problems and enhances their social skills. The lessons and sessions are built on Nearpod an award-winning engagement platform that is accessible on any remote device. The lessons include videos, interactive activities, and downloadable handouts that can be used again and again. The lessons are conducted by an experienced INSIGHTS facilitator who will coach the educators in applying the content to their students. Most schools find It helpful to start with the professional development first, then they add the parent and children’s programs. See an outline of the program here and the cost of the program is explained here.
INSIGHTS has been tested in multiple federally funded randomized clinical trials. The results show that INSIGHTS reduces children’s behavior problems, increases their academic skills, improves teachers’ relationships with challenging students, and their classroom management, in addition to improving parenting skills. More information about the studies that tested INSIGHTS and our published papers are available here.
