For Principals and District Leaders

Culture changes when the adults change.

Your teachers don't need another strategy binder. They need to lead the room again. Jason Conforti brings 24 years in education, 6 of them in behavior and alternative settings, and a framework built in the rooms where scripts fail on day one.

The Problem

Behavior is the number one stressor. Another program won't fix it.

Every year brings a new initiative. And every year the same teachers walk out tired, the same rooms stay loud, and good people leave. Programs are tools. The adults are the system.

52%

of teachers name managing student behavior as their top job stressor.

RAND, State of the American Teacher, 2026
35%

of teachers feel they matter a great deal at their school.

Walton Family Foundation, Gallup and Mattering Institute, 2026

When teachers move from Survival Mode to Lead Mode, behavior, retention, and culture follow.

The Sessions

Three ways to bring CON40 to your staff.

Every session is built around your building: your data, your calendar, and what your teachers are facing right now.

Keynote

The Teacher Is the System

45 to 75 minutes
  • The three phases of the Survival Trap: The Drift, The Mask, The Disappearance
  • Survival Mode vs Lead Mode, and what it looks like at 8 AM on a hard Monday
  • Every teacher leaves with one Standard to hold the next day
Best for: back to school, convocation, conferences, whole district events.
PD Workshop

UNTESTABLE: Lead the Moment

Half day or full day
  • The moments that test teachers most: defiance, walkouts, blowups, the whole class laughing
  • Calm, regulated leader moves teachers practice in the room and use the next morning
  • Built on de-escalation basics and designed to fit your behavior and crisis plans
Best for: PD days, new teacher cohorts, buildings with rising referrals.
Staff Series

What Teachers Say

In their own words.

"I've become much more intentional about how I enter my classroom. I've let go of feeling like I have to win every confrontation, choosing instead to stay regulated and guide students with consistency and patience."

Emily Hargis | Founding Rebuilder

"I can't control every outcome in my classroom, but I can control how I respond to those outcomes."

B. Michael | Founding Rebuilder

"This program is for the teacher who cares deeply, carries too much, and needs the reminder that they don't have to do it alone."

Patricia | Founding Rebuilder
