SUMMARY:Webinar - Shaping Behavior with "ABC" and "STOP" Techniques - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Shaping Behavior with “ABC” and “STOP” Techniques – Part 2\nOctober 4\, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM\nPresenter: Dr. Elaine Bernstorf \nFall brings opportunities to reframe our teaching approaches. It also brings new students and their personal learning behaviors. Even students we have taught for years change and have challenges as they mature\, or don’t. By October all students shape their personal dynamics within a group.  \nPart 1 (Oct 4)\, THE PREVIOUS WEBINAR\, explored common music classroom behaviors\, including disruptions\, as we use an ABC analysis model to explore behavior functions for difficult or disruptive behaviors.  \nPart 2 (Oct 18)\, THIS WEBINAR\, uses the STOP principle (an intervention designed by occupational therapists) to shape student behaviors and inform teacher planning using executive function decisions to support success. References and suggested resources will be included. \nElaine Bernstorf is Professor of Music Education at Wichita State University. With degrees in Special Music Education and a PhD in Communicative Disorders and Sciences\, her specializations include elementary music\, special music education\, and speech pathology (voice\, fluency\, autism and child language)\, literacy development\, and curriculum development. She co-authored The Music and Literacy Connection (2004\, 2014\, in press). She has published several book chapters\, presented and served internationally and nationally including ISME\, ISAME\, NAfME\, OAKE\, ECMMA\, Arts Education Partnership and the Leadership Network for Arts Education & Special Needs. In 2017\, she was inducted in the Kansas Music Educators Association Hall of Fame. \nDr. Elaine Bernstorf\nWichita State University\, Wichita KS \n@ncmea @nafme #beyondthenotes #shapingourfuture #musiceducation #musicadvocacy #ivfme #deia
