This workshop is designed for general and special education teachers, CST members, Paraprofessionals and Administrators.
Addressing challenging behavior to facilitate learning for all students is a necessity in every classroom in the school. Join us as we provide information on the science behind behavior and as we discuss specific challenges that we experience in our work each day. We will address the topics of identifying behaviors to be targeted for change, understanding the root cause of behaviors, developing appropriate interventions incorporating positive supports, and tracking the rate of behaviors to determine if change is truly occurring. This will be a hands-on workshop where participants will not only gain pertinent information on behavior change, but will also have opportunities to participate in observing behavior, working through the process to collect simple behavior data, and to strategize intervention. Come with an open mind and your real-life scenarios to be discussed and strategized!
