Function Based Thinking *IN PERSON* facilitated by Michelle Levy – 8:30-2:30pm
Function-based thinking (FBT) is a proactive, systematic approach for teachers to understand why a student misbehaves-typically to get or avoid something-and to select interventions that match that function, rather than just reacting to the behavior’s appearance. It empowers educators to address minor, persistent behaviors before they require complex, intensive assessments such as FBA/BIP, focusing on changing the environment to teach better social-emotional skills. Participants will be able to describe challenging behaviors, understand the behavior pathway and use it to determine the function of behaviors, and understand and engage with the function-based thinking process to prevent or extinguish unwanted behaviors. They will be able to 1) Operationally define challenging behaviors 2) Understand the behavior pathway and use it to determine the function of behaviors 3) Understand and engage with the FBT process to prevent, redirect, reduce and/or extinguish challenging behaviors. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
