Support Students Through Their Hardest Moments — Without Burning Out Your Staff

 

A yearlong, relationship-first framework that brings clarity, consistency, and connection to every classroom.

 

Let's Get Started!
As featured on:

The First Things First Framework gives your staff the language, structure, and tools to respond to dysregulation with compassion and confidence compassion, and a clear plan.

 

Because when your team feels supported and empowered, they stay — and they shine.

THE PROBLEM

Let’s be honest: traditional behavior plans aren’t working.

 

And too often, they’re left asking:

  • “What do I actually do in this moment?”

  • “Is this my responsibility, or should I call for backup?”

  • “How many times am I supposed to try before I give up?”

 

What your team needs isn’t more paperwork — it’s real support.
A shared language. Practical tools. A clear, sustainable approach that works in real time and across the whole campus.

You don’t need another acronym.
You need something that builds trust, connection, and values. Right when they need it most.

THE FRAMEWORK

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about predictability — where adults are grounded, students feel safe, and regulation is the foundation for learning.

 

 

Our 3-phase model gives your team a common lens, shared practices, and practical tools to:

 
âś” Respond in the moment with calm and clarity
âś” Know when to de-escalate and involve leadership
âś” Try again (and again) without burning out
âś” Speak the same language across roles and grade levels
âś” Shift from survival to sustainable growth
 

Because when your team knows what to do, feels trusted to do it, and has support behind them — they don’t leave.
They lead. They last. They thrive.

 

This framework doesn’t just help kids regulate. It helps staff stay regulated, stay connected, and stay on your team.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Your Year of Support Includes:

 

Full-Day Staff Launch PD
Kick off the year with an interactive, whole-team training that introduces the framework, reshapes how we think about dysregulation, and equips your team with strategies they can use the very next day.

Quarterly Connect + Calibrate Sessions
These live touchpoints provide built-in time to reflect, refresh, and re-align. Your staff won’t just get reminded of the “why”—they’ll be re-energized with practical next steps that build trust and momentum.

First Things First Data Tracker
A simple, school-friendly tool to track progress across classrooms. Includes consistent checkpoints for celebrating small steps and steady wins — because sustainable change is built one connection at a time.

Monthly Leadership Roundtable Calls
School leaders need support too. These small-group coaching calls offer safe space to problem-solve, share wins, and get input from people who understand the pressure — and the potential — of leading school-wide change.

The First Things First Toolkit
A practical digital portal that includes:

  • Visual supports and cue cards

  • Tiered response flowcharts

  • Strategy guides and templates

  • Printable classroom tools

WHO IT’S FOR

Your Team Is Committed — But Exhausted

Your staff is showing up every day, but the emotional toll is real. They’re running on empty, and burnout is creeping in.

Behavior Is Escalating — And Responses Are All Over the Map

Without a consistent, schoolwide plan, every classroom handles things differently. It’s confusing, stressful, and unsustainable.

You Want Something Real — Not Just One More Initiative

You're not looking for a quick fix. You want a lasting, relationship-first approach that actually supports students and the people who serve them.

 

This isn’t just another training. It’s a cultural shift, and a long-haul partnership.

This isn’t about managing behavior.
It’s about supporting people — so they can stay and succeed.

 

We believe staff retention isn’t just about pay or perks. It’s about helping your team feel effective, emotionally supported, and part of something that actually works.

This framework was built to do just that.
To help your team handle hard moments with confidence.
To reduce burnout by building regulation across your campus.
And to remind every educator that they’re not alone in this work.

You deserve more than a behavior plan.
Your team deserves tools that empower them.
And your students? Deserve adults who stay connected — even when it’s hard.

 

Let's build that together.
