About This Course

Learn how a simple classroom game can significantly improve classroom behavior while teaching students valuable self-regulatory skills. The Good Behavior Game is an evidence-based program shown to improve students' ability to stay on task and leads to multiple positive health behavior outcomes in future years. The Safe Stars Initiative is a recognition program for schools and community organizations that helps schools meet high standards of sports safety such as AED training, CPR training, emergency planning, and positive coaching goals. This session will explain how schools can use existing funded resources to improve classrooms and athletic learning while creating environments where injury is less likely to occur.
