Educators are among the most important influence on a child, but it’s no secret that controlling behavior issues in the classroom are what teachers struggle with the most. Children’s emotional and life challenges can create problem behaviors that may seem complex, but when a student’s behaviours are monitored and evaluated correctly, educators can discover the appropriate intervention to modify the problem behavior. With more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Laura Riffel has trained thousands of teachers, parents, counselors, psychologists and administrators how to make data based decisions as a way to change behavior.
