YOU HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT LIKE THIS BEFORE…But you’re about to.Teachers know that success in the classroom begins with classroom management.And classroom management starts with relationships.Without building positive relationships with students, you’ll be swimming upstream all year long.Shawn Young, CEO of Classcraft (a behavior management tool), knows this all too well.  As a student himself, he often felt bored with school and didn’t feel a sense of belonging.  When he became a teacher himself, he wanted to create a different experience for his students - one that was built on the foundation on positive relationships.Out of his own need in the classroom, Shawn began building an online platform that focused on positive behavior interventions. And Classcraft was born.Classcraft is an innovative platform that helps educators make learning meaningful and motivates students through gamification. Not only did he see the impact it had on his own students, but others began to notice as well.  And now - Shawn is on a mission to replicate this same positive experience in classrooms around the world.  Since launching Classcraft into the world of education, it has been a force to be reckoned with in transforming behavior and classroom cultures.And - I had the privilege to have Shawn on the podcast to talk all about positive behavior intervention & supports, also known as PBIS - and how Classcraft supports PBIS programs.FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES VISIT:  classroomnook.com/podcast/146
