Work with us
Our work is grounded in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) to support students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health.
Administrators require effective systems; we guide the implementation of proven evidence-based systems that create a positive, nurturing environment.
Teachers deserve the best tools to manage behavior, we equip educators with research-based behavior management strategies, so everyone succeeds.
That’s why we work alongside administrators and educators to give them the tools they need to succeed. Imagine an environment that…
Supports student engagement and learning
Fosters the development of key social-emotional learning competencies
Allows staff, students and families to thrive.
Recognized expert in behavior management
Founder and owner Thomas Stacho, Ed.S., has over two decades of experience in education, including work as a special education teacher and school psychologist.
For the last 10 years, Tom has specialized in the implementation of PBIS within the broader framework of MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports), helping districts meet compliance requirements while also transforming school culture. He has worked with one of the most respected organizations in the field of school behavior management and has trained hundreds of educators and administrators across the country.
Tom’s deep knowledge of research-to-practice methods and his ability to tailor strategies to each school’s unique needs give him the authority to help schools implement lasting change.
"As a Career Tech Teacher, I am with kids for 2 ½ hours per day. Tom brought to light many ideas and concepts that I can apply in my class. His presentation made me look at the way and style of my teaching and gave me the tools to meet higher expectations of both my students and myself."
"I love how the activities were broken up. I did not feel like I was being talked at. I felt very comfortable sharing in the whole group. Tom was an excellent presenter. He kept me engaged."
"The workshop is clearly designed experience that provided you with strategy after strategy. It causes you to think about what you are already doing and motivates or challenges you to do more. This is one workshop that is well worth your time!"
"I realize that I don't always make my expectations clear to my class. Now, I will take time to "teach" my rules / expectations early and then practice them as well as model them."
"This was a very useful class I can immediately implement many of the things I learned. Tom does such a good job of using realistic examples, humor and discussion to make the group feel comfortable and productive. Whether I was learning new concepts or having best practices reinforced, I was always able to relate lessons to my own students and classroom."
"Thank you for your perky pacing! The session was more upbeat and useful that way."
"I think the most important concept I need to work on in my daily work is my ratio of positive to negative reinforcement and being conscientious of my attitude toward students."
