3926.6, CODE, Riffel, Alphabet Soup for Secondary

Topic: Classroom Management for Disruptive Behaviors. This presentation goes through many of the disruptive behaviors that can derail learning in the classroom and shares evidence-based interventions you can use.

This presentation will focus on the variety of behaviors that show up in the classroom when teaching 12-18-year-old students. Secondary teachers frequently point to escaping work and gaining attention as the reasons behind behaviors. This presentation will show participants how to ameliorate the typical behaviors by instituting proactive solutions. Dr. Riffel will share examples from real students she has worked with over the years and the solutions that made the behaviors disappear. So often, participants in a seminar will say, “What do you do about a student who has (xyz) behavior?”  The truth is there is no one answer for the “xyz” behavior question. The answer lies in understanding the function of the behavior and putting proactive strategies in place to restructure the environment, replace the behavior, and reframe our response.

This class is limited to participants from Heart of Georgia RESA member systems.
