The current trend in behavior intervention models is shifting from a deficit-based system of delivery to positive-based models of intervention. Obviously, the movement has been made toward keeping students included in typical classrooms for instruction and in school itself, versus traditional suspension and expulsion. This shift has brought about required changes in the way educators, administrators, and child and adolescent service providers are viewing, assessing and assisting children. This graduate class is designed to examine the current trends in inclusive discipline interventions to support children from all environments. Participants will explore trauma background and its impact on learning and behavior.  Approaches will implement proactive strategies for connecting with ALL students to decrease negative classroom behaviors and increase positive learning outcomes. There is a wide range of abilities that fall into disengagement, and even disruption. These students need proactive interventions and smart discipline, as opposed to reactive punishments, to help reduce disciplinary referrals, unsatisfactory academic performance, and even self-destructive behaviors. Course participants will explore a solution-focused framework, empowering them in the classroom and in the broader climate and culture of their school                                                                               ...
