This is a 2-day training. Participants must attend both days. Teaching Social Skills in schools is based on proven interventions from the Boys Town Education Model that brings structure and consistency to direct social skills training within your PBIS framework. Join us for a 2-day training focused on how to identify appropriate social skills to teach students regardless of your role in the school, or the difficulty of the student.

• Acquire behavior management techniques, including observation and preparation, that will help prevent disruption and maintain a culture of calm.
• Gain tools to correct inappropriate behavior immediately and understand the effectiveness of using praise more often than correction to shape behavior.
