Understanding Behavior & Proactive Management Strategies

As a teacher, one of the most common things that you’ll come across in your career is dealing with challenging behaviors. The focus of this training is to guide teachers to better understand why behaviors happen in the classroom. It will examine the sequence of how behaviors occur, and then understand strategies to use within the classroom to shape behavior. Participants will leave with the ability to identify what is triggering a behavior to occur and how to choose a proactive strategy to manage unwanted behavior in your classroom. Practice using participants’ real-life classroom scenarios to determine the ABC sequence, the function and the best antecedent/proactive strategy to try out in their classroom.
