Behavior greatly impacts all students’ ability to learn. Special educators are the most frequently called upon professionals to evaluate, assess, and create behavior interventions whether a student is in a self-contained classroom or an inclusive setting. Candidates will be presented with a case study and reflect together on the behavior by identifying the antecedents and consequences presented. Furthermore, they will develop intervention strategies and share resources of evidence based practices for improving behavior. Note: This course is self-directed and utilizes an alternative model.
