Challenging student behaviors can disrupt learning. Understanding why behaviors occur is key to responding effectively. This session will focus on identifying the function of behavior—the "why" behind student actions—and using a continuum of responses to address unexpected behaviors in a way that supports learning and growth. Participants will explore the four primary functions of behavior, learn strategies to identify them in real-time, and practice applying a range of responses that maintain a positive classroom environment. By shifting from reactive discipline to purposeful intervention, educators can promote accountability while also supporting student needs.
