2021 Conference: MaryAnn Brittingham Presents “Practical Strategies to Effectively Respond to Power Struggles”

MaryAnn Brittingham holds a master’s degree in family and child counseling and a bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education. She is an author, has over thirty-five years experience as a special education teacher and child/family counselor, and has worked in psychiatric settings in order to create therapeutic options for students who require higher levels of emotional and academic support. Her passion is to help educators gain insights into student behaviors in order to create safe learning environments. If you are interested in techniques to de-escalate power struggles and rebuild trust, staying calm, cool and collected while working with a disrespectful student, identifying your response style, learning skills to avoid turning conversations into arguments, alternatives to yelling, and effective ways to frame choices and implement consequences, you’ll want to attend MaryAnn’s session.
