Dr. John Maag
The Colorado Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders and the Colorado Department of Education is sponsoring a
one-day skill-building and awareness-level conference on meeting the affective needs of students. This conference will be
beneficial for any professional who works with students with significant affective needs in a school environment, as well
as those who are preparing for a career in this field. The conference will focus on the social, emotional and behavioral
needs of all students, with a strong focus on “Yellow and Red Zone” interventions.
Conference Features
Keynote Address: Dr. John W. Maag
“I Can’t Make You: Attitude Shifts and Derailments for Resistance”
How do we respond to a student that says “Make Me!”? Our authority has been threatened. Yet, we can’t make others do
anything. Therefore, we want to set an example that shows other students they can’t get away with misbehaving.
Unfortunately, most of the ways we try to set an example have the opposite effect and actually increase the resistance.
The solution is to change our responses to students’ resistance rather than trying to force students to comply. In this
presentation, resistance will be reconceptualized and techniques for managing it will be presented.
In addition to this Keynote, Dr. Maag will be presenting one breakout session entitled “Controlling your Emotions and
Behavior Regardless of How Disagreeably Others Treat You”
Dr. John Maag is a licensed psychotherapist and professor at the University of Nebraska who specializes in the treatment
and education of children with emotional and behavioral disorders. Dr. Maag has published over 100 journal articles and
book chapters as well as 4 books. One of his books, Parenting without Punishment, won a Parent’s Choice Award.
This year, we are again pleased to offer a SECOND KEYNOTE SPEAKER!!!!!
