Classroom disruptions, behavior management issues, and absenteeism are on the rise in American education, leaving teachers with less time to do what they love – teach. According to EdWeek Research Center, more than 70% of teachers have reported an increase in disruptive classroom behavior, up from 66% prior to the pandemic. To help educators address these issues, our RethinkEd team has announced two new solutions aimed at addressing the increase in student behavior-related challenges that are impacting time spent on classroom instruction and hampering efforts to retain teachers. The RethinkEd Behavior Suite and Professional Development (PD) Behavior Training Series offer a comprehensive evidence-based solution that provides school districts and teachers behavior management training tools and support designed to achieve better student outcomes and improved teacher efficacy and job satisfaction. “Disruptive behaviors, chronic absenteeism and low student morale have become too commonplace in America’s classrooms, particularly since students returned to in-person learning after the pandemic. Juggling these new challenges have left teachers frustrated, with many leaving the profession they loved because of stress and burnout,” said Diana Frezza, general manager and executive vice president of RethinkEd. “Our Behavior Suite and PD training provides school districts and teachers a complete solution to tackle this problem head on. Data-based decision making and targeted interventions, combined with training on behavior skills that promote their success, offer a holistic approach to address the needs of students and teachers alike.” Read the full press release here: https://bit.ly/4f4tW8O #BehaviorManagement #TeacherRetention #Education #Learning #Teachers #Educators #EdTech #Schools #ProfessionalDevelopment

Did you know that 47% of young adults with #autism have not worked since completing high school? This represents a missed opportunity for companies to tap into an incredibly talented and motivated workforce. As research shows that neurodivergent employees, including those on the autism spectrum, are 30% more productive than their neurotypical peers.

The latest CDC data shows #autism prevalence is reaching parity across racial and ethnic groups for the first time. However, new research exposes the social and systemic barriers that some families face as they navigate the complex world of autism diagnosis and access to services. Two separate studies of Black families with autism found cultural barriers, stigma, and a basic lack of understanding of autism often led to delays in seeking an initial diagnosis. And when families did try to get an evaluation or access services, many experienced cultural bias and racism. Autism manifests across all cultures, genders, races, and incomes. Every person with autism deserves access to quality care and support to help them thrive. Read more from this insightful STAT article: https://lnkd.in/eyHqEyE6
