Cooperative learning
heterogenous groups of students work together to achieve a common goal. Groups are rewarded based on the progress of the entire group
Project based learning

executive functions
the brain organizing
exclusion clause
states that a child may not be identified as having a specific learning disabiliyy if there is discrepancy between learning and achievement
ABC chart

Positive Behavioral Intervention Support PBIS
a 3-tiered (universal, targeted, intensive) proactive model that emphasizes the importance of teaching all students to behave appropriately and recognizing compliance prior to intervening with students who have chronic behavior challenges

The To be be based upon the results of a functional behavioral assessment and should have a positive orientation. Must also address contingencies and supports for the students and teachers in addressing behavioral difficulties.

internalizing behavior
directed inward at oneself. Associated with emotional disability. Associated with depression. ASsociated with females
externalizing behavior
directed outwards at others. Associated with emotional disability. Associated with males.
Tier TWO interventions for behavior
The targeted tier. 5-10% of students who did not respond to universal strategies will need more targeted strategies to address misbehavior. (Check in/check out program)
restorative discipline
repair the relationship, instead of giving consequences. What harm was done to individual, rather than to school. Proactive
Response Cost
having a cost associated with behavior (there's a punishment/loss associated with a specific behavior) Must be something valued
Natural Consequences
