EDUC 956 (01) - Developing Positive Behavior Supports to Ensure Success for All Learners

Behavioral challenges are the most frequent reason students with significant disabilities are excluded from inclusive settings in schools and communities. This course will provide a baseline knowledge of the 3-tiered MTSS-B framework, including the key features, how services and supports are implemented for all students in the school, and specific interventions for students who show risk of developing an emotional or behavioral disorder (Tier II), and development of strategies to support students who experience challenging behavior and individualized interventions for students with significant impairment (Tier III). This course provides knowledge in behavior as communication, utilization of functional assessments, and development of strategies to support students who experience challenging behavior.
