AGIS Conference 2026 Potsdam
Working Together To Support Learning
Saturday September 19, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm CEST
In international schools, behavior challenges often present differently than in other contexts. Rather than frequent overt disruption, educators more One-Hour Workshoply encounter anxiety, avoidance, shutdown, perfectionism, and subtle resistance — all of which significantly impact learning.
As Head of Learning Support, I work closely with teachers across grade levels to strengthen Tier 1 classroom practices that support regulation for all students, not just those receiving targeted interventions. This session introduces a practical, research-informed framework that any teacher can use to prevent escalation, respond effectively in the moment, and build emotionally safe, high-rigor learning environments.
Participants will leave with immediately applicable tools, including structured de-escalation protocols, task chunking strategies, and language shifts that reduce power struggles while maintaining clear expectations.
This session is designed for classroom teachers, team leaders, and instructional staff seeking realistic, proactive strategies that work across grade levels and student profiles.

  • Recognize early signs of escalation and quiet dysregulation
  • Use task chunking to reduce overwhelm without lowering rigor
  • Shift classroom language to support regulation and accountability
  • Strengthen Tier 1 practices that prevent behavioral disruption school-wide
