3:15-4:15PM - Ditch Three Strikes: Better Behavior Systems
This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
Traditional "three strikes" behavior systems disproportionately exclude children from low-income families and communities of color—the very populations public recreation serves. These punitive approaches push out kids who need programs most, perpetuating inequity rather than building community. Recreation professionals need practical alternatives that keep all children engaged while maintaining program quality. This session addresses a critical gap between stated inclusion values and actual practices, providing a proven framework that transforms how teams respond to challenging behaviors.
