7 ModulesAspen
This program trains entire school teams through a safe, positive, and meaningful method of preventing and responding to dangerous and aggressive student behavior. ASPEN is superior to every other student behavior training program out there because it is the ONLY program that infuses components of positive psychology into systems of tiered support and student behavioral analysis.
Training Introduction
“Happy Kids Don’t Punch You in the Face” takes the center stage in the ASPEN training modules. Sure, we cover the roots of aggression, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, and principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis — but so do a lot of programs. In ASPEN, you are going to connect the dots to meaningful behavioral change for students by introducing components of positive psychology to the behavior plan.

Module 1: The Roots of Aggression
In this module we review the work and the wonders of Gerald Patterson’s Coercion Theory. Patterson’s research on aggression in children (and everybody else for that matter) needs to be understood by the masses. This module is your full-course meal on how aggression develops and persists in school-age children.
Module 2: Stuff That Does Not Work
If you’ve worked in the school setting, you understand the beauty and the banality of the school calendar. It is beautiful because of all the breaks—but it is also banal because of all the breaks. We simply do not have any time in the school year to waste on practices that don’t work.
