Kids Arrived Collective

Kids Arrived Collective

Everything was
perfect

 until the kids arrived. 

Understanding classroom behavior and knowing what to do next.

​

An honest, practical guide to behavior for teachers who love their students and still need a plan for the hard days. Real classroom stories first, solid science underneath.

Heading 2

“You can win the moment and
lose the relationship.”

Sound familiar?

The perfect plan

You spent Sunday building the lesson.

By 9:15 on Monday, someone else was running the room.

You are not doing it wrong. Nobody handed you the training.

This book is that training.

That one kid

One student tests every rule you have. Nothing sticks, and you are starting to dread the morning bell.

The missing training

Your degree covered standards and lesson design. Behavior got a chapter, if that.

INSIDE THE BOOK

Stories you will recognize.
Science you can use tomorrow.

24 Keys

Twenty-four chapters, each ending with one Key: the single idea worth carrying back into your room.

Stories first

Real classroom moments, including the ones that went sideways, come before any theory.

The Science Behind It

Accurate enough for a BCBA. Clear enough for anyone who has stood in front of a room full of kids.

Try It Tomorrow

Small steps and exact words you can say the very next morning. No new program to buy.

Discussion questions close every chapter, ready for your team, your PLC, or a new teacher you mentor.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Heather.

I spent years in general education and special education classrooms with almost no behavior training, so I learned it the hard way. Today I’m a BCBA, and this is the book I wish someone had handed me my first year.

Heather deRijke Getchell, M.Ed., BCBA
