At Sanders ATA, we believe that healthy competition is more than just winning or losing; it's a vital tool for growth and learning. Here's why encouraging healthy competition is crucial for our young athletes: 1. Develops Resilience: Competing teaches kids how to handle setbacks and challenges, turning them into opportunities for growth. Each competition is a chance to learn and come back stronger. 2. Motivates Improvement: Healthy competition pushes children to strive for better performance, fostering a spirit of self-improvement and personal excellence. 3. Teaches Teamwork: Even individual achievements in competitions can foster a sense of community, as kids learn to support their peers and celebrate each other's successes. 4. Encourages Goal Setting: Competitions provide clear objectives that help children understand the value of setting and working towards goals. Let's embrace healthy competition and watch our young ones thrive in all aspects of life!

Today, whilst I was thinking about the next monthly 'Philosophical Friends' group meeting, on Wednesday 15th November 2023 at the Gosport Museum and Art Gallery, a new local venture aimed at bringing #philosophical thinking and questioning to people's everyday life, I came across a piece a colleague and I put together whilst working in my role as a SAPERE P4C trainer in schools. It reminded me why thinking philosophically continues to be so important to me, why it's difficult to separate P4C from the person I am and why I've adopted a philosophical coaching style to bring philosophical thinking to the lives of individuals, young people and communities. 'I am a staunch and passionate advocate and promoter of Philosophy for Children, Young People and Communities (P4C). For me, #p4c is a transformational educational pedagogy and social practice which extends beyond the school community. It emphasises the importance of questioning and enquiry in the development of reasoning. P4C places practical wisdom, reasonableness and good judgement as a goal of education, empowering children, young people and adults to think for themselves, reflect on what sort of person they are or would like to be and what contribution they can make in life'. Following a new pathway into the world of 'Practical Philosophy' in the community and becoming a 'Philosophical Thinking' Coach, I help people figure out life: reflect on their values and beliefs, find ways to make changes to their thinking and take steps to live their true life.

SESSION 1 WORKSHOP 3: Beyond The Task List: How to Survive as a School-Based BCBA in the Real-World! Friday April 26, 2024 from 10:30-11:45 AM Salon II Heather Francisco, M.Ed., BCBA, Lindsay Keker, BCBA (Positive Pathways), & Joelle Lugo (Positive Pathways) 1.5 Learning CEUs, Supervision CEUs Discussions on the surrounding variables upon behavior analysts in schools have been somewhat limited. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) can benefit from a constructional approach to the social problems that can arise working in private or public institutions or entities such as schools. Exploring the role of relational framing for the BCBA, the staff, administrators and other trainees can aid in creating a positive and healthy work environment that will better help support the students (Rehfeldt et al., 2021). In addition, taking away principles of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) can also help with improving classroom management, creating a responsive learning environment, and increasing employee satisfaction and retention. In this workshop, the trainers will use a Pyramidal Approach (Andzik, Cannella-Malone, 2017) as well as a Behavior Skills Training (BST) approach (Schaefer, Andzik, 2021), to coach BCBAs to make their consultation style efficient, positive, and reinforcing to the staff and students who are receiving their services. The workshop will demonstrate how to improve communication (Rajaraman et al., 2021), how to capitalize on “quick wins” or pop-ins for recommendations (Gavoni and Costa 2023), how to evaluate and remedy potential barriers to effective consultation (Goldiamond, 2002) and how to build rapport and increase “buy-in” with staff and students alike (Max and Lambright, 2021). There will be handouts and materials disseminated throughout the workshop.

I have enjoyed sharing with conference attendees the value of being purposeful in defining and developing school culture. School culture is more important than many people realize. It is also more nuanced than we tend to think. School culture is not merely good or bad, positive or negative, but rather it needs to be defined, planned, carefully curated, and continually assessed. It encompasses the values, the traditions, the practices, the attitudes, and the expectations of students, teachers, administration, and stakeholders. If we want a #cultureoflearning in our schools, we must be deliberate about creating a culture of acceptance, a culture of excellence, a culture of responsibility, a culture of integrity.
