The Missing Curriculum is a two-day, interactive, skill-based training program designed for public school teachers and staff. Through discussions, individual role-plays, video examples, and numerous group practices, teachers learn to recognize students’ behavioral deficits, analyze and teach preferred skills, and encourage the acquisition of these skills.

Teachers Will Learn:

  • The six social competencies basic to classroom success,
  • How to introduce those competencies to their students,
  • How to strengthen the students’ use of the competencies,
  • How to correct problem student behavior from a supportive stance and how to then teach the appropriate preferred skill, and
  • How to communicate with students in ways that are preferred by the students.

The Missing Curriculum training is supported by follow-up consultation visits in the classroom. These consultation visits are designed to assist teachers with implementation.

The Missing Curriculum Will:

  • Decrease the time teachers spend managing student behavior,
  • Increase the time teachers spend on academic instruction,
  • Decease office referrals,
  • Improve teacher stress levels, and
  • Enhance and sustain a positive atmosphere in your school by emphasizing skill acquisition rather than behavior problems and discipline.
