6. Balancing Positives With Not Encouraging “People Pleasers” or Entitlement
Working with Millennials Can Be a Challenge. Here’s Why
Book study: Transformative Classroom Management

7. Function Based Thinking Questions to Guide Intervention
Protest/Escape/Avoid: They don’t have the skill and/or have difficulty using the skill when actually in the situation.
Seek/Get/Obtain: The plan needs to not allow the student to get what they want through problem behavior. It needs to teach them an appropriate way.
What skill is missing?
How can we teach them this skill?
When are you going to talk to this student?
When, where and with whom does the behavior occur?
What happened before the behavior? Is the student trying to protest, avoid and/or escape it? If so, why?
What prevention/protection strategies can be put in place? Remove the trigger(s)? Provide more structure and/or support?
What help or resources do you need?
What happened after the problem behavior? Did it reinforce or “pay off” the behavior in some way?
How do the adults need to respond differently to not allow the “pay off”?
What do we need to teach the student to do instead to get the “pay off” (take a break, ask for help, express wants/needs with words, get attention appropriately)

8. Easy Access to Teacher Friendly Strategies/Reproducibles
The Tough Kid Tool Box The Tough Kid Book: Practical Classroom Management Strategies The Tough Kid New Teacher Kit

9. Lack of Expertise/Manpower to Wait Out Behavior Bursts
Need for more “interventionists”
Have seen successful models with full time positions between a paraprofessional and teacher pay scale
Registered Behavior Technician training and certification a “perk”
Must be supervised by BCBA to actually get certification but could get the training regardless
40 hours completely flexible, self-paced and online
