Discover the Magic of Smooth Sailing Educational Consulting

Before recommending anything, Smooth Sailing starts by understanding what is already happening. A behavior audit looks at discipline data, reviews existing systems, and identifies the specific pressure points driving referrals and staff frustration. Schools walk away knowing exactly where to focus — not with a generic list of best practices, but with a clear picture of their own building.

When a student’s behavior is escalating and nobody can figure out why, an FBA gets to the root of it. Through direct observation, staff interviews, and data review, the assessment identifies the specific need the behavior is communicating — and that changes everything about how adults respond to it.

A BIP is only as good as the adults implementing it. Smooth Sailing builds plans that are clear, practical, and written for the people who actually work with the student — not for a filing cabinet. Every plan comes with coaching to make sure it gets used.

 This is the heart of the work. Coaching cycles typically run four to six weeks and follow a simple rhythm: observe, reflect, plan, try, adjust. Teachers are not being evaluated — they are being supported. The difference matters, and teachers feel it.

Half-day and full-day workshops on PBIS, de-escalation, trauma-informed teaching, restorative practices, and classroom management. Designed to be interactive and immediately useful — not a slide deck teachers forget by the time they get to their cars.

Small-group interventions for students who need targeted support building the skills that behavior plans assume they already have. Meeting students where they are instead of punishing them for not being somewhere else.

A retainer-based option that gives schools access to expert guidance when situations escalate beyond what internal staff can handle. Because some situations can’t wait for a scheduled appointment.

Monthly dashboards that track what’s changing, what isn’t, and why. Gives school leaders something concrete to bring to their boards and district offices — and helps Smooth Sailing stay accountable for results.
