FBA to BIP for Educators

October 27 & November 9, 2021

In this two-part series, participants will learn how function-based thinking can support student behavior.  They will apply the basics of applied behavior analysis to address concerning behavior, understand the steps to complete a functional behavior assessment (FBA) and recognize the critical components of function-based behavior intervention plans (BIPs).  Please note:  It is strongly recommended participants complete both sessions. These workshops are open to ALL educators (e.g., general or special education teachers) who want to learn more about using a function-based approach to address concerning behavior. Attendees will leave prepared to support the development and implementation of behavior plans, but not necessarily lead or facilitate the FBA/BIP process in their schools.
