3926.19, CODE, Riffel, Duct Tape Is Not a Behavioral Intervention

Topic: After reading numerous headlines in the media about adults using duct tape to control the behavior of students, we decided to develop a seminar on interventions to deal with the most difficult behaviors that will not end up on the six o’clock news. This is a two-day course and stems from two different books we wrote on the topic merged into one two-day seminar. Sprinkled along the way, we have some legal ways you can use duct tape in the classroom because it is a very useful organizational tool.

Time: 12 hours

This presentation on classroom management strategies has a crazy title.  Why on earth would I call a training this?  Unfortunately, the illegal use of duct tape in the classroom has been in the news a lot more than you might realize. When educators are not prepared, they make reactive mistakes.  This training will focus on helping you be prepared so you can make proactive decisions.  We will cover:

Chapter One: Classroom Set-up Strategies  

Chapter Two: Ambiance

Chapter Three: The First Week of School 

Chapter Four: Academic Strategies to Begin the Year 

Chapter Five: Contingencies and Rewards

Chapter Six: Secondary or Targeted Group Interventions

Chapter Eight: Odds and Ends

There will be an out of the HGRESA area fee of $50.
