WEEK 2: Teach Tos to Prevent Challenging Behavior
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AwqgjN8sULVm6xjym7Y5-TCYmQVWGzyRoNI7izXb-YU/edit
Teach Tos are research based and shown to help prevent and reduce overall challenging behavior for most students. The steps in teaching a "Teach-To" are as follows:
1. Explain the positive/expected behavior and rationale.
2. Demonstrate the positive and expected behavior or routine.
3. Demonstrate the negative (non-example) behavior.
4. Demonstrate the almost but not quite behavior.
5. Have students practice with positive/expected behavior with all elements or routines done with precision. Re-practice until it is accurately demonstrate by each student.
Learning Walks - January 18th
