Book Study: Connections Over Compliance
JUNE 2026 With ESCs 9, 14 & 17!



Book Club: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline

Our 2nd annual cross-region book study is happening in June!  Join with educators from regions 9, 14 & 17 as we dive into Connections Over Compliance by Dr. Lori Desautels. 

The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe. Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with reactive and puniitve practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. This book deeply addresses the need for co-regulatoary and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience. 

The study will be held June 1, 8, 15 & 22, and Dr. Desautels will be joining us for a live Q&A on the 22nd!!!!  You won't want to miss this! Grab your spot today, and the first 30 registrants will get a copy of the book!
