Creating Welcoming and Affirming Learning Environments and Applying a Proactive Function Based Thinking (FBT) Process to Support Student Behavior 

Date: October 27

Registration Deadline: 10.22.26

Time: 9:00am - 3:00pm

Location: BT BOCES Instructional Support Center

Audience: General and Special Education Teachers, Pupil Support Personnel, School and District Leadership and Administration, Directors of Special Education

Overview: During this session, we will begin by exploring "Creating Welcoming and Affirming Learning Environments,” one of four high leverage principles identified in the Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CRSE) Framework. When students feel like they belong at school, they have fewer absences, fewer disciplinary infractions, higher graduation rates, as well as increased engagement, self-esteem, and attitudes. During the second half of the session this training package will provide an overview of challenging behaviors, the behavior pathway, and the function-based thinking process. Function-based thinking is a Tier 1 support that can be used for all students in combination with the principles of the CRSE Framework.
