The Universal Protocols (UniPro) are a set of evidence-based, trauma-assumed strategies designed to stabilize severe behavior while long-term, skill-based interventions are developed and implemented.

Would you like to get your students thinking more in class? Do you seek more engagement through the whole lesson? Our Building Thinking Classrooms session will provide you with tools to start creating more opportunities for critical thinking, student collaboration and engagement. Building off the work of Peter Liljedahl, we will explore ways to deepen thinking, collaboration and engagement in K-12 classrooms. While Peter’s book was written with math teachers in mind, we will discuss how this might look in ELA, Science, Social Studies and more. Participants will come away with practical, ready-to-use ideas for the rest of the 2026-2027 school year.
