This 6-hour training is fundamental to the understanding and implementation of classroom and student specific behavior strategies. The information is derived from nearly 50 years of research on individual students with problem behavior and is based on research in Applied Behavior Analysis. Participants will be able to explain the differences in Applied Behavior Analysis as “therapy” or versus as “science/practice.” They also will be able exposed to the seven dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis to be considered when considering and implementing effective interventions. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to apply the ABC contingency (through case scenarios) to begin to hypothesize functions of student behavior. In the end, participants should experience a theoretical shift relative to behavior management and behavior change.
This is the first of four Essentials Training offered by the K-12 Behavior Support Specialist. Essentials Trainings must be completed in sequence. After completion of ALL four Essentials Trainings, participants are eligible to attend more advanced trainings on Instructional and Behavior Strategies and Programming to address moderate problem behaviors. In order to facilitate participation in future BX3 project initiatives, it is recommended that districts form teams and attend the Essentials Trainings.
