Join us at the NWESD School Safety and Wellness Symposium for an impactful presentation by Lee Collyer, Director of Special Programs at Olympic ESD 114, as he shares practical, research-based strategies to de-escalate challenging student behavior in school settings.
In his session: De-escalation Strategies to Support All Students, Lee highlights that, even in the safest and most predictable environments, student behavior can escalate – and how we respond matters. Lee will guide participants in exploring the influence of unconscious bias, while offering actionable tools to shift away from reactive, exclusionary practices like restraint or suspension. Instead, learn how to foster safer, more supportive, and instructive approaches that center student dignity and success.
With over 20 years of experience and national expertise in special education, MTSS, crisis management, and positive behavior supports, Lee brings both deep knowledge and practical insight to this vital conversation.
Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your team’s ability to respond to challenging moments with skill, compassion, and intention.
