Today, we wanted to talk about our classroom management behavior systems and our foundational four, but we also wanted to talk a little bit about some initiatives, buzzwords, and some hot topics that are out there right now. The field of education often feels as if it has these ever shifting initiatives. One of the more prevalent conversations in the realm of professional development, a hot topic lately is trauma informed practices we hear about all the time. It's one of those buzzwords right...

Functional thinking was a huge component of Albi. And I am proud t...

The behavior doesn't change or maybe things even get worse. This can be referred to as the kitchen sink approach. We're just going to try and throw everything at the behavior and hope that something sticks. Unfortunately this is usually pretty ineffective. It's important that interventions and behavior plans are tailored to th...

Four main practices that help you to achieve getting the best behavior happening out of your students. 1. Establish and teach classroom routines, procedures, and behavior expectations. 2. Plan for positive interactions and reinforcement of appropriate behavior. 3. Develop a process for correction and consequences. 4. Set up opportunities for active student responding. So these are the four things that we think are going to get you guys the most bang for yo...
