Teacher/Classroom Dynamics

Understand the Why. Transform the Classroom.

A 60-minute webinar with Mandy Grass, BCBA—exploring the functions of behavior and practical tools for classroom success

Every behavior in the classroom happens for a reason. When teachers understand the why behind behavior, they gain the power to respond in ways that truly work.

In this 60-minute webinar, Mandy Grass will guide teachers through the science of classroom dynamics using a behavioral lens. Together, we’ll explore:

• The Functions of Behavior – why students act out, shut down, or seek attention

• Classroom Strategies that Stick – how to prevent challenging behaviors before they start

• Positive Teacher–Student Interactions – ways to strengthen connection and increase cooperation

• Systems that Support All Learners – balancing the needs of individual students with the whole group

Through real-world examples, Mandy will demonstrate how shifting perspective from “What’s wrong with this student?” to “What is the function of this behavior and how can I solve it?” leads to more effective responses, greater teacher confidence, and stronger classroom harmony.

By the end of this session, teachers will walk away with practical, behavior-based tools they can use immediately to create a positive, supportive learning environment where all students can thrive.
