Special Education Directors,

Are your staff and families experiencing challenges with student engagement and motivation during remote learning?

If so, please join us for our next episode of the Thursday Afternoon LEarning Series, or TALES, on Thursday, April 30 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. We welcome Dr. Laura Riffel, a national and international presenter, also known as the Behavior Doctor, to present “Thriving During Remote Learning: Engaged and Motivated.” Dr. Riffel will share a three-pronged behavioral intervention approach to get students engaged and motivated to attend to remote learning tasks. Even though we are working remotely, we can revise the environment, replace the behavior, and reframe our response to gain student input in desired ways.

Dr. Riffel will share some recommendations based on age levels and ideas for family members, students, and educators. She is also creating a web page filled with ideas that you will be able to access after the webinar. At the end, she will be available to answer your questions. If you’d like to check out her website ahead of time, go to BehaviorDoctor.org or visit the Behavior Doctor Facebook page. If you have a specific question you’d like answered privately, she will be happy to answer if you email Dr. Riffel.

To join us for this one-hour webinar, please register in advance.

Participant registration is first-come, first-served and is not limited to special educators – feel free to forward.

Questions regarding this TALES professional learning opportunity can be sent to the ESS Inbox.
