College Course
Using Basic FBA to BIP for Pre-Service training in college courses.
Building school capacity to provide individualized behavior support in schools should start in preservice preparation programs. Special educators, school counselors, school psychologists and adminstrators are among the positions most often involved in leading Tier 3 behavior support efforts in schools. Though general education teachers may not need to know FBA/BIP, they should have a strong understanding behavior and intervention for students with recurring problem behavior.
