In this engaging video, Dr. Tim Grivois from TGS Educational Consulting offers educators a refreshingly clear approach to Behavior Support Planning. Instead of creating documents destined to collect dust, you’ll learn strategies that actually make a difference in students’ lives.

What Makes a Behavior Support Plan Effective—and What to Avoid

Not all plans are created equal. Effective Behavior Support Planning emphasizes practical strategies tailored to individual student needs rather than generic interventions. Dr. Grivois shares common pitfalls to avoid and tips on designing plans that educators genuinely want to use.

Collaborative Planning Builds Trust and Clarity

When families, teachers, and students actively contribute to Behavior Support Planning, the outcomes dramatically improve. Dr. Grivois provides actionable advice for involving key stakeholders in authentic, trust-building ways.

A Simple, School-Friendly Framework

Complex plans rarely work in busy school environments. That’s why you’ll find a straightforward framework that simplifies Behavior Support Planning, ensuring your efforts are sustainable, practical, and directly beneficial to students.

Why Values-Based Support is More Effective than Consequence-Heavy Systems

Values-based support—grounded in trust, relationships, and clear expectations—consistently outperforms consequence-heavy approaches. Dr. Grivois explains how a shift toward values and support results in meaningful, lasting behavioral change and improved school culture.


If you’re a school leader, counselor, social worker, or classroom educator seeking Behavior Support Planning that feels more like a promise and less like paperwork, this video is for you.
