Why do they act the way they do? Functional Behavioral Assessment - 5 views

  •  
    We've all experienced difficult student behaviors in our classrooms; at least some of it seems to go with the territory. But it's important for us to try to understand why our students may be acting the way they are and try to meet them where they are. I used some of these approaches in my classroom, and what I discovered led me to use 1:1 iPad technology to help differentiate for my students and meet them where they are educationally. This article has some very helpful, practical approaches to functional behavioral assessment.

    Thanks for sharing this article. It is a nice overview of the FBA. I liked how it also included the "How To's" section. I took a Behavior Assessment class over the summer that was all about using and developing the FBA. This article summarized the class and is a real eye opener into our newer SST paperwork.

    I found this article to be very informative. Thank you for posting. Our SST team actually follows the FBA form. I have found that taking the time to identify " triggers," rather than just responding to problem behaviors, pays off for everyone in the long run.

    Thanks for sharing this. I like language, checklists, forms, etc that can change our team meetings in middle school from endlessly perseverating on one child to no avail to actually creating an action plan.

    Hi Annemarie. This is very helpful for me, as "special education" strategies are a big gap in my learning, although these seem like the mainstream would also benefit. I find this really good for classroom management and for setting a welcoming vibe. As a specialist, I'm often having to create buy-in with near strangers because I'm assisting a class. While I'm positive and empathetic by nature, here are some concrete things that I can do to make sure I don't lose students along the way.

    Janet, This sounds amazing. I'll probably regret it but I signed up for the course which begins Jan 20. If nothing else the response you receive once you fill out the form is worth the effort!
