In Episode 7, I talk about how we can prevent  behaviors problems from happening in the first place.  I focus on 6 strategies you can put in place to create a behaviorally supportive classroom and you can grab a tool for implementing one of them in the corresponding blog post link below.  These strategies are effective for all students in all types of classrooms. I share examples across the ages and classroom settings of how to put research-based strategies in place to support appropriate behavior as well as why those strategies are important.  Using a function-based approach (described in Episode 6) allows us to prevent behaviors from occurring or keep them from escalating and requiring more significant intervention.  While it won't eliminate all challenging behaviors, by preventing many of them, you will have time to focus your more intensive efforts on individual students.
