~The Most Powerful Strategies for Preventing and Eliminating Chronic Disruptive Behavior in Your K-12 Classroom - 2-Day Series - Presented by Kevin Dill

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.
