Just as teachers must implement strategies for managing dynamic classroom systems to create clear and consistent expectations, so must they include strategies to address individual student behavior needs. Educators are called upon as professionals to observe and assess behaviors in order to create behavioral interventions for learners in any classroom setting. In this course, education professionals engage with case scenarios to analyze student behaviors and offer support to colleagues. Throughout the course, educators implement behavior strategies and interventions and create a customized behavior support system for one student that will serve as a model for learners in their current school setting. They develop professional development resources using evidence-based practices for improving behavior to share with colleagues and to add to their professional library.
