Frog Street bestowed a Lifetime Achievement Award on Dr. Bailey at their Summer SPLASH Conference at the Gaylord Texan Resort near Fort Worth July 13-15. Dr. Bailey’s SPLASH keynote was titled “Three Super Powers Every Educator/Teacher Needs! (Capes Not Included)” in celebration of all the heroes in early childhood education. She arrived at the conference on the heels of a trip to Washington, D.C. where she was featured as a speaker at the Congressional Baby Caucus on Capitol Hill.
The Frog Street award comes as Dr. Bailey and her team celebrate the 20th anniversary of Conscious Discipline, growing from a 2-person business headquartered in Dr. Bailey’s home to an international network that has impacted over 15+ million children worldwide.
“This award is about the millions of educators out there who get up every day, looking to bring the best of themselves into their classrooms and provide the best possible learning environment for their children,” Dr. Bailey said.
“This award is about the millions of educators out there who get up every day, looking to bring the best of themselves into their classrooms and provide the best possible learning environment for their children,” Dr. Bailey said. “I’m honored that so many have come to Conscious Discipline and found it to be helpful, and I’m going to keep working to see that all educators have access to effective social-emotional training so they can better manage their inner states and their classrooms, and provide lifelong social-emotional skill to children.”
Frog Street infused its popular curriculums with core Conscious Discipline methodology using extensive consultation and development with Dr. Becky Bailey and Master Instructors in 2009. Frog Street curriculums currently employing Conscious Discipline include the Pre-K, Threes, Toddler, Infant, Love & Learn, and Summer School curriculums.
