Understanding Challenging Behavior Through Data Collection

5/5 User Satisfaction rating
Are there challenging behaviors in your classroom that make you scratch your head and wonder “what’s going on?” Have you tried a bunch of strategies and the behaviors keep happening? Even the most experienced teachers sometimes struggle with challenging behaviors even though they know that all behavior is communication and it’s our job to understand the messages that children are giving us. Kids with challenging behavior are good kids who just need our support to learn and thrive.
