Managing Behavior in Physical Education, Goal Setting, and Placement Decision Making Related to Physical Education PE/HE CONSORTIUM
Register through My Learning Plan here.
This presentation will start with understanding the current behaviors that teachers are seeing and some approaches to minimizing the negative behaviors and increasing the positive behaviors. We will discuss goal setting as it is reflected in the units taught throughout the year. We will take a look at the placements of these students to see if this may be an issue that contributes to the negative behaviors. If we have time we will review the 12 Myths and Facts about teaching students with disabilities in physical education.

Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Initial Certification Training
Register through My Learning Plan here.
Managing aggressive and violent behavior has become an essential skill relevant to all school personnel. Staff members need safe, effective behavior management training designed to maintain the care, welfare, safety and security of all involved in a crisis. Teachers and support staff will explore a range of "risk behaviors" and practice appropriate de-escalation strategies to address these behaviors while maintaining the best possible professional attitude. You must attend both days. In addition, we are asking that individuals attend in pairs or trios so that they can perform the physical interventions with a partner. All participants must complete the physical interventions in order to receive certification.
