Title: Reducing Classroom Behavior Problems and Power Struggles
Date: January 27th, 2016
Time: 4:30-7:30 PM
Location: Passaic Valley High School- Campbell Hall
100 East Main Street, Little Falls, NJ 07424
Instructor: Michael Paternoster, M.A. Counseling, Director of Special Services

Description: In order to better work with behavior, let’s first understand it. In this workshop we will look at the causes of behavior, transference, current books and social factors. We will discuss consequences and how to deal with the monopolizer, the withdrawn student and several behavior issues you wish to discuss. I will set up at least two Role Playing scenarios based on workshop member interests. During the Role Play, alternative approaches will be examined along with the importance of experiential review. I will refer to Positive Discipline by Jane Nelson, Martin Seligman’s Positive Psychology and the book ‘Social’ by Matt Lieberman. Presenter- Michael Paternoster, M.A. Counseling, Director of Special Services for 19 years This workshop does not address behavior techniques for students with autism. Recommended for grades 6-12 (although past attendees working in elementary schools have felt that the workshop was applicable)
