Description
Want to know effective, yet practical and easy to use techniques, that will prevent and eliminate defiant, disruptive, disrespectful, aggressive, controlling, noisy, and oppositional behaviors? In this two-part training, you'll learn and leave with a ton of powerful and practical strategies that will equip you to prevent and eliminate challenging behavior. This series will be held in-person on February 10 with day 2 on April 22.
On day one, you'll learn and leave with behavior management techniques like:
- The #1 strategy that gets defiant students to cooperate and make them think it was their own idea.
- What to say and do when confronted with behavioral tactics and traps from disruptive students.
- Powerful techniques that immediately stop disrespectful behavior like arguing and insults.
- The biggest mistakes educators make with disruptive students—and what to do instead.
- Simple, yet powerful techniques that instantly defuse confrontations and power struggles with students.
- The effective technique of setting limits with Choice Language when students become oppositional, defiant, controlling and rude.
- Strategies that stop excessive talking in its tracks.
- The most effective 'teacher approach' to use with disruptive students.
On day two, we'll take the approach of managing behavior to the next level - the technical level. You'll learn the science and techniques of shaping behavior, not just managing it. You'll learn and leave with:
- What really drives maladaptive-chronically destructive behavior
- How to conduct and apply an experimental functional analysis
- The techniques of feeding and starving functions
- How to identify basket-A behaviors of decrease and measure the F.I.D. (Frequency, Intensity, Duration)
- The critical step most teachers and behavior specialists miss when shaping behavior
- How to leverage the science behind reinforcement schedules to accelerate behavior change
- How and when to use powerful techniques like omission training and behavior momentum
- The art and science of fading
- The differences between consequences and corrections - and how to use them effectively
- Specific language to use when actively shaping behavior - and language you shouldn't use.
