Summary
In this week's episode of The Language of Behavior, Joshua Stamper and Charle Peck address a leader’s question about new year initiatives: “If I’m trying to implement practices to help students and staff, how do I make sure they don’t fall to the wayside?” They explain why one and done PD fails and why long term sustainability requires the cohort model, where a committed team embeds skills into everyday practice with consistent touch points. Charlie calls out the need to stop adding tasks and instead shift to prevention, while Josh emphasizes making initiatives part of campus identity so they survive staff turnover and budget cycles. They revisit Tenet 1’s “Consider Your Environment” inventory to audit social and physical classrooms for predictability and trust, while reshaping student engagement and focus. -- 2026 KASEA Winter Conference : https://usakansas.wildapricot.org/event-6477424 NCMLE Conference : https://ncmle.org/2026-ncmle-conference -- FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudy Do you have any questions for the podcast?
