This web-based forum will address a range of topics centered around the behavioral needs of students returning to the classroom after a long break such as summer vacation or the COVID-19 pandemic. We will discuss milestone driven best practices in depth, and we will allocate some time at the end of each session for Q&A and open discussions (if appropriate given the attendee count).

Key Discussion Points

1. Preference Assessments. The importance of preference assessments as well as the different types, how to administer them, and how to use them.

2. Setting Expectations. The significance of clear expectations and some ideas around when and how to set them.

3. Reinforcement Schedules. Different types of reinforcement schedules, how to administer them, and why they’re essential.

4. Data Collection and Analysis. How to collect critical data and make insightful data-driven decisions.
