SSBHC 2026
April 15 – 16, 2026
Hyatt Regency, Greenville, SC
The 2026 Southeastern School Behavioral Health Conference is a hybrid event bringing together educators, mental health professionals, families, and leaders to advance student well-being through collaborative, school-based practices.
Join us for a BASC-led session, “Practical Evidence-Based Classroom Behavior Resources,” with Karen Elfner, Megan Carpenter, and Georgia McKown
Discipline and behavior are among the top reasons educators leave the field, especially within their first five years (Billingsley & Bettini, 2019). While teacher-student relationship quality can contribute to this issue, educators are often not prepared to meet competing student needs. Teachers are especially underprepared to provide evidence-based strategies to support students’ social, emotional, and behavioral development. As a result, the Behavior Alliance of South Carolina has worked to gather evidence-based strategies for educators to employ to support all students and packaged them within an easy to understand, easy to implement model. This interactive session will provide participants with the opportunity to learn, model, practice, and role-play various evidence-based, relationships-focused classroom management strategies. These strategies are for any adult in a school to utilize with any student tomorrow. The session will include opportunities for hands-on practice, action planning, and working with peers to formulate plans to implement the practices when participants return to their settings.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe evidence-based relationship-focused classroom management strategies.
- Access and interpret how to use resources to support the application of evidence-based relationship-focused classroom management strategies.
- Share plans to use resources for applying evidence-based relationship-focused classroom management strategies.
