Our team is in schools every week, and we keep hearing the same challenges come up:
Most behavior training focuses on what to do after the problem happens.
But what we’ve found is this.
That’s the work we do through our ROOTS Framework.
The ROOTS Framework is a practical, schoolwide behavior management system that strengthens the conditions for learning. It helps educators create consistent environments, respond to behavior effectively, and support student regulation.
Rather than focusing only on discipline, ROOTS aligns five key areas that shape how students learn and behave:
When these systems work together, classrooms become calmer, more consistent, and more focused on learning.
Module 1: The Mindset Shift: From Fixing Students to Creating Conditions for Success
The ROOTS framework shifts the focus from “fixing students” to strengthening the conditions that support behavior, regulation, and learning. Participants will explore how adult responses, classroom systems, and schoolwide practices impact student success while building a shared understanding that behavior is communication and proactive systems create safer, more supportive learning environments.
Module 2: The ROOTS Framework for Behavior and Learning
The ROOTS Framework explores how aligned systems create strong classroom and schoolwide foundations for behavior and learning. This framework focuses on Regulation & Relationships, Organized Learning Environments, Operational Structures, Teaching Practices, and Sustainable Systems to support engagement, regulation, and student success.
Module 3: Understanding the Brain: How Stress, Trauma, and Regulation Impact Learning
Explores how the brain responds to stress, safety, connection, and learning while examining how regulation impacts attention, behavior, decision-making, and engagement.
Module 4: R – Regulation: Helping Students Regulate, Reset, and Build Capacity
Regulation and co-regulation play a critical role in student success and classroom functioning. Explores strategies that help students recognize, manage, and respond to emotions in safe and productive ways while creating predictable, calming environments.
Module 5: R – Relationships: Building Connection, Belonging, and Safety
Intentional relationship practices help build trust, belonging, emotional safety, and connection within the classroom community. Explores proactive and restorative strategies that strengthen relationships while increasing student engagement, regulation, and readiness to learn.
Module 6: O – Optimal Learning Environments: Designing Spaces That Support Regulation and Learning
Intentional classroom design directly impacts student behavior, regulation, engagement, and success. Focuses on how physical layout, sensory considerations, organization, and environmental structures create spaces where students feel safe, calm, and ready to learn.
Module 7: O – Operational Structures: Creating Predictable Systems That Support Student Success
Predictable routines, expectations, transitions, and classroom systems help reduce uncertainty, increase independence, and create conditions where students can successfully engage in learning. Learn how consistent structures support regulation, behavior, and student success.
Module 8: T – Core Teaching Practices: Responsive Practices That Build Engagement and Momentum
Instructional and behavioral practices play a critical role in keeping students engaged while preventing and responding to challenging behavior in real time. Participants will learn practical strategies that increase participation, maintain momentum, strengthen relationships, and support positive learning experiences for all students.
Module 9: S – Sustainable Systems: Creating Alignment Through Consistent Schoolwide Practices
Consistency across classrooms, teams, and schoolwide systems is essential for sustaining long-term success. Participants will discover how aligned practices, shared expectations, ongoing reflection, and intentional “re-rooting” strengthen outcomes for students and staff over time.
Module 10: Turning Data Into Action: Using Systems to Support Student Success
Behavior and classroom data help schools identify patterns, prioritize needs, and strengthen proactive systems of support. Examines how office referrals, behavior trends, classroom data, and other indicators can guide decision-making and support meaningful changes that improve outcomes for students and staff.
Module 11: Turning Data Into Action: Using Systems to Strengthen Student Success
Behavior and classroom data help schools identify patterns, prioritize needs, and determine where proactive changes can create the greatest impact. Focuses on how office referrals, parent communication, behavior trends, and other data sources can guide decision-making and strengthen systems that improve outcomes for students and staff.
Module 12: Building Community, Expectations, and Belonging During the First Weeks of School
The first weeks of school set the foundation for relationships, routines, behavior, and classroom culture throughout the year. Focuses on intentional practices that build connection, belonging, and trust through community circles, group plans, relationship-building strategies, and positive family communication. Develop a practical 5-day launch plan while learning how to intentionally “re-root” expectations, routines, and community following breaks and transitions throughout the school year.
Module 13: From Framework to Action: Implementing the ROOTS Action Plan
Building sustainable change requires intentional planning, reflection, and actionable next steps. Focuses on helping teams identify current strengths, prioritize areas for growth, and develop a first-year ROOTS action plan aligned to their goals, systems, and student needs. Participants will begin developing practical steps to implement proactive practices that strengthen behavior, engagement, and schoolwide success.
