Learning Outcomes:

1. Given information and examples, staff will recognize or be able to describe 2-3 ways in which extensive needs (including autism spectrum disorder) may impact the academic, social, and behavioral skills of their students.

2. Using the Universal Supports for Prevention-K-12 Checklist and Classroom Teaching Environment Assessment- Revised, staff will self evaluate the use of evidence based and best practices currently implemented in their environments.

3. Provided targeted training related to evidence based and best practice, staff will select and integrate strategies and practices to support the growth of academic, social, and behavioral skills in their students with extensive needs (including autism spectrum disorder).

This series is intended to provide any team the knowledge and tools related to effective teaming. “Experience tells us that certain key ingredients are important for meetings to achieve their purpose, for example getting the right people to the table, staying on task, making decisions based on accurate information, problem solving, and executing plans in a fair and timely manner….

The Effective Teaming and Meeting Mechanics processes and tools are both universal for all meetings and customized for specific types of meetings so that it will function as a resource for various meetings.”

Developing and Implementing Self-Management Systems with Students

# data[].attributes.body
Self-management strategies have been used for students with a wide range of academic and behavioral challenges, including students with ASD. Teaching self-management is a pivotal behavior for students to learn how to independently regulate their behavior across many situations. This material provides information about how to individualize a self-management system for a student with ASD or other extensive needs. This will include the steps needed for a student to learn to discriminate between appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, monitor and record their own behaviors, and reward themselves for meeting a specified goal.

Outcomes:

Participants will be able to identify target behaviors that can be addressed using self-management systems

Participants will gain knowledge on the primary steps for developing a self-management system

Participants will be able to identify the components for teaching the use of a self-management system

Participants will be able to develop a self-management system to address a skill deficit or challenging behavior

Teachers and those supporting in classrooms recognize that they are spending more time helping our students get ready to learn and to keep learning throughout the day. This series will expand on the foundational understandings presented in Teachers These Days (Carrington, J., & Mcintosh, L. 2021). Additionally, the series will explore immediately applicable strategies that can be incorporated into daily practice within the classroom and school environment. These strategies target the whole child and aim to increase regulation, engagement, and support growth for staff and students.
