Participants will learn how to build data streams that alert school staff and administration as to “frequent flyers” and those students whose disruptive behaviors are escalating. It will also focus on conditions that can create “crisis” situations or interactions for individual students or groups of students and provide sample strategies for dealing with such conditions.
