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
