What if the behavior crisis in your school is not a student problem — but a system problem?

In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle respond to a question straight from the NCMLE conference: "We are seeing behavior spike in the spring — how do we address this as a whole system?" The answer is not more programs or more staff. It is about stabilizing a flooded, reactive system before trying to fix it — using the people and resources already in place.

Josh and Charle unpack why reactive, compliance-based responses keep failing, how one school dismantled a punitive behavior matrix and saw real culture shift by year three, and why incremental intentional change beats overhauling everything at once.
