He never puts things back, he's always late, and he cuts in line...every time. So is the life of the bad seed. Sometimes when we have students in our classrooms with extreme challenging behaviors, we start to use definitive words like NEVER, ALWAYS, and EVERY TIME and may unconsciously develop reactive, rather than proactive, responses to behavior. This session will guide participants through the Prevent-Teach-Reinforce Young Child model of supporting challenging behaviors (PTR-YC). Participants will learn to think BEYOND the problematic behaviors to triggers, adult and child responses to behaviors, and the intentional teaching of replacement behaviors, so that even the worst of seeds can change his ways.
