The "Circle of Courage"
Understanding and Preventing Challenging Behavior
(Part 1)
Workshop Description:
"Joey is often verbally and physically aggressive with his peers and teachers."
"Sarah is constantly off-task and rarely does her homework."
"Billy doesn't care if he hurts other's feelings."
These are just a few of the challenging behaviors that educators confront in their schools and classrooms.
Selecting effective strategies to prevent or intervene in these and similar behaviors in a fashion that leads to self-discipline, responsibility, community and a positive learning environment depends on understanding the communicative functions of behavior. Participants in this workshop will be actively engaged in affirming and strengthening this understanding. By the end of our time together, those in attendfance will be able to:
-
Describe and explain the basic needs that motivate behavior as epressed by the "Circle of Courage," and
-
Apply what they have learned to developing strategies for proactively preventing and/or intervening in challenging behavior or strengthening classroom or school climate.
Reegistrants will be expected to complete one or two brief exercises and a short reading assignment prior to attending the workshop. This material will be mailed to each participant approximately two weeks before the workshop.
