Summary

In this solo episode of The Language of Behavior , Joshua Stamper shares what school leaders should expect when implementing the strategies from the book, especially during year one. He explains why staff often feel discomfort during change, how old beliefs about punishment and control can create resistance, and why building a shared language around behavior, consequences, and responses is the first critical step. Joshua also breaks down the importance of identifying staff champions, using intentional PD, and bringing discipline data into the conversation so teams can see the impact of their work. He reminds listeners that meaningful behavior change is a long-term process that requires patience, consistency, and a strong foundation of systems, mindsets, and proactive classroom strategies. -- FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudy Bulk Book Discount: https://www.connectedd.org/bulk-orders Do you have any questions for the podcast?
