The Developmental Designs approach encompasses both the academic and social needs of adolescents. It provides structures for teaching to the whole child so that academic growth is enhanced, rather than limited by the social and emotional realities of adolescence. Developmental Designs practices and principles create equitable, trauma informed classrooms with the goal of adolescent responsible independence. These practices were created to engage students in three important ways: CREATING A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

  • Learn ways to build and sustain effective learning community all day everyday

Developmental Designs helps build relationships, helps establish positive and reliable classroom routines, and finally models how to help middle school students build self-control. This helps build confidence in staff as well as students! ~Developmental Designs for Middle School trained educator

We should always be working on improving our practice and COVID has forced this upon us because it has made us uproot the complacency we once practiced and became comfortable with. Education is ever evolving and so must we. ~Developmental Designs for Middle School trained educator

Developmental Designs has proven success! ~Developmental Designs for Middle School trained educator

I was going into the training in a negative mindset. I gained a lot of tools and things to do (and avoid). ~Developmental Designs for Middle School trained educator
