​
Behavioral needs within classrooms have changed significantly. Many training sessions regarding behavior focus on TEA regulations, with less attention provided on how to redirect behavior appropriately that lasts for life. This session will dive deep into the 8 Sensory Systems (triggers to target), Peripheral and Central Nervous Systems (transmitters of emotions), and the Limbic System (emotional center).
You will take away an array of research-supported strategies anchored in neuroscience. When applied, these teach a student to take ownership of their behavior using these tools and strategies for life.
You will also learn about your own sensory triggers, responses, and ways to replace your fears and anxiety with calmer and more confident emotions. You do so much for others, this session is designed to support you when managing challenging behaviors.
Objectives:
Attendees will be able to
-
review WHAT happens to a student that brings about unexpected behavioral outbursts and disrespect?
-
understand WHY unexpected behavior becomes a default that you have to manage on your own while teaching?
-
describe HOW can to shift the responsibility of behavior to the student to relieve the educator of doing the work of managing a student's behavior?
