We invite school inclusion staff to join us online for the first event of 2025.
Topic: Behavior Management 101
Managing behaviors that challenge can be one of the most complex aspects of inclusive education. Many educators struggle to create an environment that supports students, while also maintaining classroom structure. Understanding the root causes and functions of behavior is essential for implementing effective and proactive strategies that promote positive behavior, rather than resorting to reactive or punitive measures.
Key takeaways for educators attending this online event:
- Behavior as Communication: Understand the purpose behind challenging behaviors.
- Classroom Strategies: Use modeling and realistic expectations to promote positive behavior.
- Identifying Triggers: Track patterns with ABC (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) data.
- Influencing Factors: Recognize sensory, emotional, and environmental impacts on behavior.
- IEPs & Behavior: Integrate behavioral strategies into Individualized Education Plans.
