Hey everyone! Episode 13 of The Behavior Trap Podcast is live. On today's podcast I got to interview Lani Lawson. Lani Lawson taught in an elementary self contained classroom for five years. Her greatest ambition was to achieve a lifetime as a classroom teacher. However in noticing the lack of information on effective practices available to educators, she committed to learning more until she could provide that support to schools. She has worked with students in a severe behavior unit, who engage in some of the most challenging behavior. That experience along with her own personal high-trauma childhood taught that every single student no matter the challenges can be successful. After years as a practicing school consult BCBA, she developed the Teach.Train.Thrive Curriculum for teachers that gives them exactly what they need to be optimistic in the classroom. Over the course of her career, she has worked with hundreds of educators. She works in schools regularly, as well as leading a team of BCBAs who provide support to educators. Her goal is to provide support that cultivates confident, happy teachers. She loves football and baseball and lives with her husband in the suburbs in Illinois! They have a pit mix named Boss and love weightlifting!
