"Misbehaving" to Learning
Using the root cause analysis process, participants will work through using language and building belief systems that flip the idea of challenging behavior from its “naughty” behavior to understanding the behavior as a communication of a skill deficit or an inability to perform an expectation. We will dive into the understanding of how educators' behavior impacts the students' learning. Walk away with techniques to change your own practice in supporting student behavior utilizing proactive support and environmental design. We will be changing the lens we look at behavior through to overcome the challenging behavioral issues we deal with daily. Already have this belief? Come join us to help gain ways to support others on their learning journey. We don’t change students, we can change our behavior and hope for support in change in others.
