The Real Cost of Student Dysregulation

Every day, classrooms lose valuable learning time when students struggle to stay regulated and engaged.

Teachers are doing their best, but without consistent, school-wide supports, stress rises, and instructional time slips away.

If your campus is experiencing:

Frequent classroom disruptions
Rising referrals or office calls
Inconsistent staff responses
Teacher frustration or burnout

...these challenges point to gaps in universal supports, not teacher effort — and can be minimized through proactive systems.

At Navigating Behavior Change, we help schools minimize classroom disruptions and maximize learning time through our Core Universal Supports Framework™

A systems-based, preventative framework that strengthens behavioral functioning and maximizes student learning opportunities.

The Core Universal Supports Framework™ helps staff establish consistent, proactive systems that promote regulation, engagement, and motivation.

Six supports focus on prevention; one focuses on effective responses. Together, these aid in creating optimal conditions for learning.

The 7 Core Supports

Physical Space: Design environments where students feel safe, relaxed, and motivated to learn.
Expectations: Explicitly teach and practice behavioral guidelines.
Routines: Create predictability and build fluency with classroom procedures.
Schedules: Increase time-on-task and minimize downtime.
Instructional Practices: Use proactive teaching strategies that maximize engagement..
Effective Reinforcement: Embed natural reinforcement to increase positive behavior.
Effective Responses: Guide staff to implement planned responses that assist students to Regulate, Restore, Reflect, and Re-engage.

When implemented together, these supports strengthen behavioral functioning — helping students stay regulated, motivated, and ready to learn.
