This professional development session is designed specifically for school leaders to deepen their understanding of Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). Participants will explore the foundational principles and legal requirements of FBAs and BIPs, including their critical role in addressing challenging student behaviors through data-driven, individualized strategies. Through case studies, interactive discussion, and practical tools, administrators and other leaders will learn how to lead effective teams, ensure fidelity in FBA/BIP implementation, and monitor progress. The session will also cover how to align behavior supports with academic goals, ensure staff collaboration, and maintain compliance with IDEA requirements. By the end of this training, administrators will be equipped to: -Identify when an FBA is needed and how to facilitate the process. -Guide teams in developing meaningful, proactive BIPs. -Support staff in using data to evaluate and adjust interventions. -Strengthen a schoolwide culture that proactively addresses behavioral needs.
