TESE-5380.SB: Comprehensive Behavior Assessment and Positive Behavior Support

In this course, candidates study the research and practices of social and academic Positive Behavior Support with exceptional pupils in special education and inclusive settings. They learn theoretical and applied perspectives on behavior support; how to conduct comprehensive ecological and behavioral assessments, consistent with Positive Behavior Support; and how to derive multi-element Positive Behavior Support plans from such assessments. This course also covers ethical standards and professional conduct related to behavior support practices for individuals with disabilities. In addition, legal requirements, practices and procedures relating to Title 5, California Code of Regulations “Behavioral Interventions for Special Education Students” (no longer required but still used throughout the State) and those pertaining to Federal law (IDEIA ‘04) will be infused throughout this course and students will have a working knowledge of the requirements of local practices and Federal law. Classroom behavior support theory and practice, as well as the design and delivery of Positive behavior Support (PBS) programs, will be presented in the context of a culturally and ethnically diverse society. In addition, actively soliciting, welcoming and valuing family expertise is considered integral to this course - for the Functional Behavioral Assessment and for the design and implementation of PBS.
