PSY 906: Classroom Behavior Management
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
Philadelphia, PA

Behavior problems on the part of a small number of students in the classroom often undermines the education of other students and causes significant frustration for teachers. During this week the participants will learn the Functional Analytic Model, an evidence-based approach, designed to alter dysfunctional behavior. Participants will understand a model for identifying and defining the specific characteristics of problematic target behaviors, developing behavior assessment strategies, delineating triggering events and conditions for problem behaviors, determining factors that maintain problematic behaviors, identifying positive behavior alternatives, constructing a functional analytic conceptualization of classroom behavior problems, designing effective intervention strategies, and evaluating the impact of behavior interventions. Participants will have ample opportunity to discuss actual cases from their own classrooms and to design behavioral assessment and intervention strategies.
