In today’s classrooms, it’s not a question of “if” challenging behavior will happen, but “when.” This can be especially challenging for special education teachers in classrooms working with students with autism to ensure that each student’s diverse needs are addressed. Instead of waiting for problems to arise and backpedaling to re-teach, setting up proactive and preventative systems can help reduce challenging behaviors, increase learning, and improve the class climate. Over the past several years when teaching has been at its hardest, classrooms that utilize efficient classroom-management systems and strategies are able to thrive even in adversity.

We all want to thrive, not simply survive. In this edWebinar, the presenters cover several preventative classroom/behavior-management strategies for all levels that can be used while working with students with autism to make your classroom run like clockwork and be a safe and positive environment for everyone.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to educators, especially special education teachers, of the PreK through elementary grades.
