Education:How To
Getting Started with Challenging Behavior in the Classroom
Teachers often ask me about how to handle challenging behavior from their students. It’s one the biggest hurdles in their classroom and a main cause of burnout. I’ve spent a good chunk of my career assessing, addressing, and researching challenging behavior in students. So in this episode, I discuss the research and principles underlying my approach and include some ideas and examples of what does and doesn’t work.
2:02 - Why appropriate student behavior must be taught, not expected
3:53 - The importance of separating the behavioral problem from the student in your mind
6:07 - Conditions that can affect challenging behavior in your student
8:32 - The main reason why problematic student behavior occurs in the first place
9:57 - How the function of challenging behavior is directly related to deficits in skills
12:21 - How to base your treatment on the behavior’s function
15:55 - Why you should be less concerned about the form the behavior takes than its purpose
16:51 - Summarizing the seven principles of handling challenging behavior
