In this four-day training, participants will learn evidence-based instructional strategies needed to work students with behavioral challenges, students with ASD and other students with complex needs. Intervention always includes instruction! Strategies will include teaching methods to use before, during and after behaviors occur. This training is designed to provide participants with tools to intervene before instructional errors or behaviors can occur, resulting in measurable student progress. This Train the Trainer model will provide participants with training tools to go back to their districts and train direct care staff, teachers, other service providers, etc. Participants will be required to demonstrate competency in the skills learned in this training. This training is designed for people who work directly with students within the classroom setting, trainers, direct service providers, educational leaders, coordinators or other professionals charged with providing training to other adult learners and who are confident in doing so in an applied learning context. Teams of two or more are recommended. Coffee and bottled water is provided. Lunch (on your own).
