SUMMARY:Preventing the Meltdown Understanding Environmental Factors Affecting Student Behavior *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:A common mistake made by schools is to assume that problematic student behaviors exist primarily within in the child and underestimate the degree to which external environmental factors impact student academic and behavioral performance. The fields of education and human behavior have long recognized the complex nature of student behavior and its relationship to the child’s learning environment Understanding this relationship and the presence of these factors helps educators and clinicians become more effective in their analysis and development of strategies to respond to behaviors which negatively impact student success. By examining the environment\, staff can use this knowledge to manipulate and alter the conditions which serve as triggers to the challenging behaviors thereby improving the learning environment for struggling learners and improving a positive classroom environment for all. Audience: Administrators\, clinicians\, support staff\, teachers Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat.

SUMMARY:One Size Does Not Fit All: Curricular and Instructional Adjustments to Address Behavior *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Research has shown that curricular and instructional adjustments are important components of positive behavior supports that lead to the reduction of problem behavior and promotion of student success. When thinking about changing student behavior\, focus should be placed on how adults are teaching and supporting the student both as part of a group and as an individual. Multiple opportunities to access\, engage and respond to academic tasks help to decrease feelings of frustration\, increase access to content and prompt academic engagement while creating a positive learning environment. Strategies presented will highlight curricular adaptations as to WHAT is taught\, instructional adaptations as to HOW content is taught and how learning is demonstrated and ecological adaptions which relate to where\, when and with whom instruction and learning takes place. Strategies presented will also form the basis for academic and behavioral accommodations and modifications as well as specially designed instruction as part of a well developed IEP. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-CFIht8UQkKmj03vBEPCtpgt_baQBFpU/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5133465

SUMMARY:I Got This: Developing Supports and Interventions for Problematic Classroom Behavior **IN PERSON** presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Promoting healthy and safe learning environments where students can receive the instruction and other supports they need to learn and achieve at high levels is one of the primary responsibilities of each school. Research has suggested that teachers and other school personnel often have received inadequate training in the understanding and management of problematic student behavior. This circumstance has often made both teachers and clinicians alike feel helpless in the development of successful responses to these behaviors. It is therefore important for educators to take advantage of the use of researched based behavioral science approaches. Figuring out the reasons behind a behavior is critical for the development of an appropriate response or intervention. By understanding that behavior is a form of student communication that is purposeful\, interactive\, predictable\, and learned through the visual representation of a behavior chain or pathway\, teachers and clinicians can become better equipped with the skills necessary to manage behavior effectively and efficiently. In this session\, participants will learn how to independently develop behavior interventions through a process that determines why a student engages in behaviors that impede learning and that are related to the classroom environment. Thinking about the circumstances and factors surrounding a behavior in a systematic manner will help teachers set up and manage their classrooms in a proactive and positive way. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFor full description please view Flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s-HI2cCiWqKdHAUwUqnwFbcj4it0Awn6/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5133525

SUMMARY:Adjusting Instruction to Address Behavior 2-Day Workshop presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Many teachers face disruptive behaviors in their classrooms. Researchers have found a relationship between instructional practices\, student engagement\, behavioral issues and academic success. When students are frustrated by academic tasks\, this often results in behaviors that interfere with teaching and learning. Participants will learn effective research based instructional strategies that have been shown to increase student engagement and improve success with academic tasks while creating a positive learning environment for all students. Participants will learn how to identify the reasons behind student behaviors triggered by the presentation and completion of academic tasks and then use this information to develop and implement a variety of instructional practices as well as curricular adaptions and modifications that can lead to improved behavior and academic success. Some of the research based strategies to be presented include differentiated instruction\, Universal Design for Learning\, explicit direct instruction and active engagement strategies. Audience: Teachers\, support staff\, administrators Eligible for 12 hours CTLE credit. Can use 2 Consortium seats. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_VxS-Kh82CWm_KqeyGv0dKJdCfN_DZYW/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5130631

SUMMARY:One Size Does Not Fit All: Curricular and Instructional Adjustments to Address Behavior *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Research has shown that curricular and instructional adjustments are important components of positive behavior supports that lead to the reduction of problem behavior and promotion of student success. When thinking about changing student behavior\, focus should be placed on how adults are teaching and supporting the student both as part of a group and as an individual. Multiple opportunities to access\, engage and respond to academic tasks help to decrease feelings of frustration\, increase access to content and prompt academic engagement while creating a positive learning environment. Strategies presented will highlight curricular adaptations as to WHAT is taught\, instructional adaptations as to HOW content is taught and how learning is demonstrated and ecological adaptions which relate to where\, when and with whom instruction and learning takes place. Strategies presented will also form the basis for academic and behavioral accommodations and modifications as well as specially designed instruction as part of a well developed IEP. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat.

SUMMARY:Preventing the Meltdown Understanding Environmental Factors Affecting Student Behavior *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:A common mistake made by schools is to assume that problematic student behaviors exist primarily within in the child and underestimate the degree to which external environmental factors impact student academic and behavioral performance. The fields of education and human behavior have long recognized the complex nature of student behavior and its relationship to the child’s learning environment Understanding this relationship and the presence of these factors helps educators and clinicians become more effective in their analysis and development of strategies to respond to behaviors which negatively impact student success. By examining the environment\, staff can use this knowledge to manipulate and alter the conditions which serve as triggers to the challenging behaviors thereby improving the learning environment for struggling learners and improving a positive classroom environment for all. Audience: Administrators\, clinicians\, support staff\, teachers Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat.

SUMMARY:I Got This: Developing Supports and Interventions for Problematic Classroom Behavior **IN PERSON** presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Promoting healthy and safe learning environments where students can receive the instruction and other supports they need to learn and achieve at high levels is one of the primary responsibilities of each school. Research has suggested that teachers and other school personnel often have received inadequate training in the understanding and management of problematic student behavior. This circumstance has often made both teachers and clinicians alike feel helpless in the development of successful responses to these behaviors. It is therefore important for educators to take advantage of the use of researched based behavioral science approaches. Figuring out the reasons behind a behavior is critical for the development of an appropriate response or intervention. By understanding that behavior is a form of student communication that is purposeful\, interactive\, predictable\, and learned through the visual representation of a behavior chain or pathway\, teachers and clinicians can become better equipped with the skills necessary to manage behavior effectively and efficiently. In this session\, participants will learn how to independently develop behavior interventions through a process that determines why a student engages in behaviors that impede learning and that are related to the classroom environment. Thinking about the circumstances and factors surrounding a behavior in a systematic manner will help teachers set up and manage their classrooms in a proactive and positive way. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFor full description please view Flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18n6xkOEp-m7NtO7oI3gHtBAJdSk1tAmY/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5133540
