New Behaviour Frameworks Launched
A new Behaviour Support Framework called S.T.A.N.D. was launched by Fresh Start in Education this week — it’s pitched for out-of-education students and mixed-age settings. At the same time TeachTown released a free eBook aimed at shifting early childhood programs from survival to success, tackling IEP data overload and staffing strains — both moves push for structured, scalable behavior supports.
Fresh Start says it drew on 15 years’ experience supporting thousands of 1:1 re‑engagement cases when designing the STAND framework freshstartineducation.co.uk. The STAND course suite explicitly lists "Because Behaviour Speaks," "Understanding Behaviour Through a Relational Lens," "Trauma Awareness & Emotional Safety," "De‑escalation & Positive Behaviour Support," and "Relational Practice & Emotion Coaching" as core modules. freshstartineducation.co.uk STAND frames behaviour through a relational lens and promotes emotion coaching and the PACE approach as practical tools to reduce threat and restore regulation during escalations. freshstartineducation.co.uk TeachTown’s PreK eBook, titled "PreK Unfiltered: Helping Educators Master the Shift from Survival to Success," presents a named "pivot plan" to move early‑childhood programs from reactive routines to planned, leadership‑led routines. web.teachtown.com TeachTown also offers an eBook, "Staff Shortages in Special Education: Is There a Remedy?," that identifies pandemic‑era contributors to turnover and outlines district strategies to reduce churn. go.teachtown.com TeachTown highlights automated progress monitoring and reporting features intended to reduce IEP documentation load by producing teacher‑ready data summaries and benchmark reports. web.teachtown.com TeachTown announced a combination agreement with Everway on Feb. 6, 2026, which the companies described as expanding capacity for scaling curriculum, data tools, and implementation supports. everway.com
