Cultivating the classroom was a great program for all teachers, no matter the amount of experience or age. The course helps you dive deeper into why you do what you do and reevaluate your processes based on your desired outcome. The course is ideal for end of year or summer training to prepare for the next year. Paraprofessionals and other staff members can benefit from parts of the course as well. It helps everyone be on the same page about expectations and how to communicate with kids. Scheduled meetings with a facilitator were great because they allowed time for private reflection during the course and group share-outs and discussions as we progressed.
The Heart of Behavior framework and resources have been instrumental in creating meaningful and user-friendly FBA and BIPs. Mae Coffman was a wonderful presenter and trainer. It was evident that she was experienced in behavior modification. She provided real-life experiences and useful tools one could take back to their district to implement. Furthermore, the resource library gives the practitioner accessibility to guidance documents, helping the practitioner recall the information from the training and not solely rely on their memory or notes. This is a very thorough and in-depth training that will give the practitioners the tools necessary to carry out their roles as behavior interventionists, whether you are a campus behavior support, BCBA, ABA therapist, or School Psychologist.
During the Check In - Check Out Online Course, I learned how to make better connections with students at the beginning of the day and the goals that we need to set for every student. As for the check out the process and how to offer reflection on how their day went.
The Behavior in Schools Online Course is a wonderful training; this really helped to better understand the instructional approach.

The Feedback with Daily Behavior Report Card Online Training made me understand how to most effectively give feedback to the student.
