This training is free to all Region 10 schools.
Presenter: Donna Black
This workshop examines the assessment of students with emotional and behavioral disorders from an historical context and the impact this deficits-based approach has had on educational outcomes for these students. An alternative, assets-based approach based on the principles of positive psychology, will be offered. The workshop will provide participants with strategies for conducting a strengths-based assessment that can lead to increased engagement and improved interventions for students with emotional and behavioral disorders.
