Challenging Behaviors – How to Prevent, Reduce and Replace
In-person training – Great Falls
June 16, 2022 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Using case studies and examples from your setting we begin the workshop highlighting the key concepts of applied behavior analysis, helping you to understand why challenging behaviors occur. We discuss the importance of designing supportive learning environments based upon the Pyramid Approach to Education® framework.
The next step in the workshop is to define behaviors that require intervention and establish the function of these behaviors. These skills are put into practice using our own case studies and furthermore applying this to your own learners. The second half of the workshop addresses strategies that can be used proactively and reactively to decrease the challenging behaviors which you see in your setting. (full description)

Strategies, Language & Tech Tools for Improving Executive Functions (virtual training)
Friday, June 24, 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Executive functions are important for developing social and organizational competencies throughout our daily activities. While it may be obvious that social and organizational learning helps us to work in groups and acquire academic information, these same core competencies help us socially problem solve within and across our daily lives. In this course, you’ll learn how to use specific language, tech tools & strategies to foster the development of situational awareness, mental time travel, self-awareness, and self-evaluation—all of which contribute to personal self-regulation.
This training will be recorded and access will be available until July 25th. No OPI renewal units are available for this training.
