SUMMARY:Ready\, Set\, Success: Managing Behavior in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to see positive behaviors in your classroom? This training is designed to empower classroom teachers to promote student engagement and appropriate behavior! Participants will learn key components for managing the classroom and the use of proactive strategies\, including classroom structure\, identifying and teaching behavior expectations\, developing and teaching routines and procedures\, and using reinforcement systems. What can teachers do when inappropriate behaviors occur despite having all the proactive strategies in place? This session walks participants through how to respond to these behaviors using informative and corrective consequences. In order for the training to be held\, there must be at least ten (10) participants registered. The Arkansas Behavior Specialists are committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If you require accommodations\, please email the BSS trainer as soon as possible. Please bring an electronic device to use throughout the training.

SUMMARY:Autism Awareness: Recognizing Characteristics in the Educational Setting
DESCRIPTION:Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest-growing developmental disability and with that\, districts are serving more students with autism than ever before. It is critical that school personnel have the knowledge and skills to recognize\, identify\, and support students with ASD within a timely manner to prevent and/or support potential behavioral\, social\, and communication challenges which may negatively impact overall outcomes for the student. This training is designed to help teachers and school staff recognize the core features of autism\, including both visible and invisible characteristics\, as well as underlying deficits and possible classroom implications. This training will also cover the prevalence of ASD as well as co-existing conditions in addition to contrasting medical diagnosis versus educational identification of autism spectrum disorders. \nIn order for this training to be held\, there must be at least ten (10) participants registered. The Arkansas Behavior Specialists are committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If you require accommodations\, please email the BSS trainer as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:From Prevention to Intervention: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This training is an introduction to Antecedent-Based Interventions (ABIs). ABIs are interventions that increase the likelihood of appropriate behaviors and/or decrease the likelihood of problem behaviors by changing events that occur before a behavior. Throughout this course\, you will learn about several different ABIs including Visual Supports\, Priming\, Highly Preferred Materials\, Offering Choices\, Premack Principle\, High Probability Requests and Noncontingent Reinforcement. Participants will be introduced to each ABI and learn how to implement each one with fidelity. In order for the training to be held\, there must be at least ten (10) participants registered. The Arkansas Behavior Specialists are committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If you require accommodations\, please email the BSS trainer as soon as possible.
