2. Participants will understand the research literature's recommendations on behavior management in the classroom and the home.

3. Participants will view several examples of using rewards and consequences and be able to determine effective versus non-effective uses of these.

4. Participants will learn commonly employed corrective procedures, as well as how and when to correctly utilize these procedures.

 5.   Participants will be able to evaluate a child's behavior in a particular environment to assist in improving behavior through using rules and environmental modifications. Participants will also practice writing appropriate rules and consequences for a child they encounter in their classroom or home.
