2023 Safe and Supportive Learning Environments: Prevention Before the Crisis Summit
08. Quick Wins! Using Behavior Science to Accelerate and Sustain Behavior Improvement in Schools
Session Dates
Wednesday August 16, 2023 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM - PaTTAN - CENTRAL
Closed
Classroom, school, or district leaders wishing to launch new initiatives or engage in important change, can gain buy-in and momentum by choosing to initially focus on areas that are visible, require relatively little effort, and have a valued outcome for stakeholders. In short, Quick Wins. But that is only a part of the formula. While getting buy-in and building momentum are critical, sustaining the behavior of the stakeholders required to achieve goals is fundamental to lasting success. In the end, it all comes back to behavior: the behavior of the students, faculty, staff, and school leaders. Quick Wins teaches leaders who are tasked with behavioral improvement, classroom improvement, or school improvement how to leverage behavioral science to bring out the best in those involved. This presentation, grounded in Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), or the science of human behavior for making a positive difference for students, classrooms, schools, or districts, is intended to teach anybody trying to build momentum and achieve sustainable change.
