This 2-part training is designed to assist participants in learning and applying basic behavioral concepts that lay the foundation for addressing challenging behavior. Part 1 – Part one will examine the trauma/SEL connection to behavior, basic behavioral concepts, simple data collection methods to help determine the function (purpose) of the challenging behavior and learn proactive strategies aimed to prevent challenging behaviors. Part 2 – Part two will provide participants with an opportunity to review their own students’ behaviors, work together to determine the functions of behaviors and how to select and teach functionally related, pro-social strategies to replace the challenging behaviors.

This course provides practical methods for supporting challenging behaviors within the PBIS/MTSS framework. Participants will explore setting events, antecedents, behaviors, and consequences (ABC), and learn to collect and analyze data to identify behavior patterns. Emphasizing that behavior is functional, the course helps participants understand perceived motivation and how environmental or background factors influence behavior. Through guided practice, participants will gain tools to identify the function of behavior—attention, escape, tangible, or sensory—and determine next steps when the function is other, unclear, or unknown.
Intended Audience
Special education teachers, general education teachers, paraprofessionals, and site administrators.
