| "Behavioral Interventions for Challenging Students" Wednesday, March 21 - Thursday, March 22, 2012 Naperville, IL |
| Dr. Knoff was a Full Professor at the University of South Florida for 20 years, and the Director of its School Psychology Program for 12 years. He is widely respected for his research and writing on school reform and organizational change; consultation and intervention processes; social skills and behavior management training; Response-to-Intervention; and professional issues. He has trained over 1,500 schools or school districts over a 20 year period, and has authored or co-authored 16 books; published over 75 articles and book chapters; and delivered over 500 papers and workshops nationally. Dr. Knoff was the 21st President of the National Association of School Psychologists. Presentation Description: This interactive presentation focuses (Day 1) on how to establish effective school-wide Discipline, Behavior Management, and School Safety systems (Tier 1) to increase students’ interpersonal, social problem-solving, conflict prevention and resolution, and emotional coping skills, as well as their academic engagement and academic achievement. Using a “Positive Behavioral Support” foundation, the workshop then (Day 2) discusses Strategic (Tier 2) and Intensive (Tier 3) interventions to assist challenging students who are behaviorally unsuccessful or non-responsive. One of the principles emphasized throughout the workshop is: “The absence or elimination of a student’s behavioral problem does not necessarily mean that the student has good pro-social skills.” For that reason, Day 1 will focus on how to teach students effective social, emotional, and behavioral skills, and how to help them to apply these skills at self-management level. Day 2 will focus on how to specifically plan, implement, and evaluate Tier 2 behavioral interventions. These interventions will be organized to address the need to: (a) Increase or Establish New Student Behaviors; (b) Decrease or Eliminate Inappropriate Student Behaviors; (c) Teach Attention and Engagement Skills; (d) Teach Social, Self-Management, and Self-Control Skills; (e) Increase Student Motivation; and (f) Address Teasing, Taunting, Bullying, Harassment, and Physical Aggression/Fighting. The specific interventions discussed will be evidence-based, teacher-friendly, and field-tested. This workshop will provide case examples as appropriate. For each intervention, the following information will be provided: (a) Problem Situations where the Intervention is most-used or most useful; (b) functional assessment outcomes that necessarily link to make this intervention relevant; (c) the Age Levels where the Intervention will be most successful; and (d) the Severity Level of the Student and/or Problem where the Intervention will be most successful. While participants may come separately to either Day 1 or Day 2, we strongly recommend that they attend both days so that they get the benefits from integrating all of the information. Learning Objectives: Workshop participants will learn: 1. To recognize the interdependence of student, teacher, instructional, curriculum, and other “environmental factors” that must be considered when implementing interventions. 2. To understand the evidence-based Positive Behavioral Support System that provides the preventative “anchor” to behavioral intervention. 3. To understand how to organize a number of behavioral interventions for strategic and intensive need students. 4. At the prevention level (Day 1), the importance of teaching social skills and the behavioral principles underlying skill-based training. 5. At the strategic and intensive intervention level (Day 2), behavioral interventions for those students who are having difficulty mastering or choosing not to demonstrate specific desired behaviors, and for those students who demonstrate particularly intense, resistant, and/or significantly disruptive behavior. |
