Presentation Abstract
Being “sneaky smart” is all about changing adult behavior, being flexible, being willing to problem solve, and being more skilled at ways to alter the environment & the positive supports that we can put into place. Evidenced-based strategies will be reviewed that educators can begin to implement immediately with students that fall in to all tiers. These strategies can be adapted for use in the home setting for parents as well. The "sneaky smart” approach is appropriate for any setting to increase compliance of both large groups of students & individual ones. These methods for being proactive in the classroom setting & how to better intervene with a student that is agitated and resistant have been proven effective over the years.
Using humor from experiences of helping teams problem solve frustrating behaviors that children exhibit in the classroom and school settings, this session will 1) help you improve some of the evidenced based interventions that you already use in your schools, and 2) expose you to some new strategies/interventions to try as you consult and work with school teams.
