In this session we will explore how to bring the maker mindset into your classroom through hands-on, project-based learning that builds both knowledge and relationships.
Have you ever sat down to write an update about behavior and realized there was a problem with the data? Maybe the issue was all of the information so carefully collected during the quarter didn’t really line up with the behavior goal. Perhaps you were lost in a sea of numbers and could not figure out which were applicable, or maybe there just was not enough information to confidently determine progress. These scenarios are not just common barriers to accurate report writing. Problems with data are arguably the number one reason why BIPs are not properly implemented. Fortunately, there are tips and strategies for overcoming these obstacles! Please join me for real-life discussion and problem solving for recording behavior data in a classroom setting.
Did you know that by teaching your students five specific skills you can increase their participation in academic activities, open doors to social opportunities, foster independence, boost their chances of getting a job, reduce the behaviors that create isolation, and lead them to a life with more self-determination? It is true! It’s never too late to start, but the earlier the better! Please join me in a collaborative discussion about these crucial skills and how to implement them in your self-contained classroom.
