This full-day training, Why They Do What They Do: A Practical Guide to Behavior, is designed to help educators develop a deeper understanding of student behavior by examining the functions of behavior and how they drive student actions in the classroom.

During this workshop, participants will review the four primary functions of behavior (attention, escape/avoidance, access to tangibles, and sensory) and explore how these functions present in real classroom settings. The training will include explicit instruction on Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions and how to select strategies that are aligned to the function of behavior rather than relying on generic or reactive approaches.

Opportunities will be provided for small group discussion, brainstorming, and collaborative planning to develop behavior support plans for a variety of student profiles.

6 PD/EILA Hours will be provided for the training.
