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.
This session is designed for middle and high school teachers to create a more dynamic and supportive classroom.. Learn evidence-based strategies to boost student engagement, including optimizing the classroom environment, active supervision techniques, and providing multiple opportunities for student responses. We’ll also explore how these practices align with trauma-informed approaches to enhance learning outcomes.
(Physical Layout, Active Sup, and OTR) This session will focus on several, evidence-based methods of increasing student engagement within the classroom. These include setting up the physical environment to maximize engagement, considerations of active supervision across activities, and providing multiple opportunities for students to respond and demonstrate their learning. An understanding of how these practices are connected with trauma-informed strategies will also be embedded within this session.

This session seeks to build a foundation of understanding of student behavior and self-regulation, as well as provide teachers with a continuum of strategies to use when unexpected behavior occurs. Participants will be encouraged to be mindful of student need and function of behavior when choosing the most appropriate strategy. Teachers will learn how to support student regulation, foster problem-solving skills, and cultivate supportive relationships to create a positive learning environment.
