Currently, the US Department of Education is in the process of revising the NCLB laws. Some states have begun using Common Core Standards to assess the academic achievements of students’. Unfortunately, not all students, staff, and parents are ready to handle students response to these new educational requirements. Behaviors have escalated amongst students’ due to the additional academic pressures they face each day. Behavior escalations will impact the home, school, and community. This training will teach you how to identify behaviors and describe what you need to do to begin managing behaviors across all environmental settings.
