9:00am - 3:00pm

As educator teams navigate increased demands for supporting student behavior that challenges us, a key tool is understanding functional behavioral assessments (FBAs).
This two-part series equips teams with tools to understand the function and root cause of behaviors that interfere with a student’s learning through a functional behavioral assessment.

Part one will focus on using the WI DPI 2025 FBA resources to explore clearer consent rules, how to conduct an effective and comprehensive FBA, and explore the technical behavior resources
In part two, teams will further delve into specific tools such as RIOT/ICEL and root cause analysis to enhance their ability to identify the function and root cause of behavior to determine targeted evidence-based interventions and positive behavioral supports.

Learning Objectives:

• Review the updated state guidance and technical assistance resources and consider their impact on local practices
• Practice applying the components of an FBA as an alternative to exclusionary discipline and to improve outcomes of students with behavioral challenges
• Practice using targeted FBA tools to enhance the data collection process and improve the depth of data analysis, enabling more informed and culturally responsive decision-making.
