Description

Looking for advice on working with paraprofessionals in special education, especially as a young teacher? Hearing conflicting information about PBIS? Need help using reinforcement effectively? I answer all of these questions and more in this Q and A episode. We talk about my strategies for working with paraprofessionals in special education especially as a young teacher. If you met me in the real world, you would probably think I was a student in high school at first glance. I get it all the time, people ask my age at an abnormally high rate. So working with older professionals in the building has been a challenge I have encountered. I give you my tips for working with paraprofessionals in special education as a young teacher. We also talk about PBIS. There are a lot of misconceptions about PBIS, one being that it is a ticket system that is used to gain compliance from kids. However, this is not the case. I discuss what PBIS really is and how it can be used as a framework for promoting and teaching behavioral and social emotional learning skills to our students effectively. I also talk about my opinion of PBIS from a behavior analytic perspective. I also got a question about what to do when a student has a token board and they pick their reinforcer they are working for but then change their mind. This can happen a lot. I walk you through some different strategies you can use if this occurs in your classroom to increase student success. We also discuss the main goal of behavior change programs and how we can keep that goal in mind while we are working through our behavior change program.Lastly, we talk about classroom rotations. I give you some pros and cons to classroom rotations and help outline how to make that decision for your classroom. Overall, this episode is filled with advice for classroom teachers on a variety of topics and can be useful throughout the school year!
