Dr. Holly Hibbard also presented her impactful “When Behavior Hits the Fan” De-escalation session, with a strong focus on prevention and equipping educators with a deeper understanding of the function of behavior and the de-escalation cycle. 🧠🛠️
Two incredible sessions. One powerful day of professional learning. And a district full of educators committed to creating classrooms where students can thrive! 💙🙌

During this three-session virtual cadre, we'll work together to:
✅ Align trauma-informed practices across all tiers of support
✅ Identify strengths and gaps in your current systems
✅ Collaborate with districts across the region

Last Friday, Dr. Holly Hibbard had the opportunity to work alongside the District Leadership and School Leadership Teams at Corbin Independent Schools as they continued strengthening their Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
Together, the teams explored the incorporation of mental health and behavioral health systems through the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF)—building on the strong systems Corbin already has in place to create an even more comprehensive approach to supporting students.
One thing is clear: these teams have incredibly strong systems, but they are never satisfied with simply maintaining the status quo. They are continually asking, “How can we get even better for our students?”
We can’t wait to see the progress Corbin Independent makes throughout this school year as they continue this important work! 👏
