Equipping Educators To Recognize And Address Student Mental Health In The Classroom
Managing a classroom with students who have mental health issues can be very exhausting for educators… and costly for school districts.
What if there was a way to cost-effectively train teachers to be more confident in behavior management while saving valuable district resources?
Introducing The Training Program That Arms Your Educators With Everything
They Need To Support All Of Their Students
Are Student Behavioral and Mental Health Issues Affecting Your School?
The prevalence of students with mental health issues is rapidly increasing.
Are your educators struggling with the behavioral challenges directly associated with student mental health issues they are facing in the classroom?
As an administrator, you know they need training, and you’re responsible for providing them with the skills they need. You would like to offer meaningful training, but you haven’t found a simple practical solution that you can use.
You Want:
- To support educators who are on the frontlines in dealing with the mental health crises they are facing every day in the classroom.
- To secure a cost-effective way to efficiently train all your educators simultaneously without having to schedule your staff in one location on a given day.
- To provide expert training from those in the field to give your educators effective strategies on shaping student behavior.
- To easily integrate student mental health training for new hires throughout the year and keep training consistent.
- To demonstrate to parents and Board Members that you are proactive in handling student behavior issues.
Are These The Concerns Holding You Back?
- Don’t have time or resources in your school budget?
- Only have so many days available during the school year?
- So difficult to get all your educators in one place at one time?
You’re not alone.
We Understand That Teacher Training Programs Need To Meet A Wide Range Of Requirements
- The training needs to be delivered by professionals with a high degree of experience and expertise in the subject they are offering.
- The training must be cost-effective and easily implemented to immediately start.
- Equip your educators with everything they need to succeed NOW — not when their classroom challenges are getting so overwhelming and students are failing.
- Create a consistent training program for new hires and seasoned professionals.

Newmark has made a significant difference in the lives of students and teaching professionals with our strategies and methodologies that clearly work. We have schools that prove it.
Here’s What Participants Say
“As a BCBA in a public school district, I found the NextMark training videos to be a great resource. The videos are helpful as a supplemental way to work with teachers in getting to know their students and how their disabilities affect them in the classroom. While discussing specific students I have been able to refer teachers to points discussed in the training videos that explain why a student may be acting a certain way and what the teacher can do to support the student. Thank you NextMark!”
