Managing Behavior . . .
is an ongoing challenge for anyone working with children! It seems that there is a new trend, or a new pre-packaged form of behavior management out every day. With all of the information out there, how do we really know what to use with the children we help? How do we know which behavior management techniques really work? Managing Behavior: A Data Driven Approach will cut through all of the new trends in behavior management, and identify what research and years of practice have proven effective. This workshop will present techniques and interventions that have been tested and proven with even the most severe behaviors. This workshop will equip you with strategies to use with all children, no matter the age, level, or exceptionality.
A Data Driven Approach
One of the most difficult aspects of behavior management is knowing what is, and what is not effective. This workshop will present a data-driven model for assessing, tracking, and measuring student behavioral progress and outcomes. The knowledge you will come away with will give you the piece of mind to know if what you are doing with children is successful.
6 hour Social Work CEUs available! (Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners approved)
