Bring the Joy! Calling all FSC / MGR / Specialized Support Teachers & EA's! PFA, SBT and why we C.A.R.E
This workshop introduces the foundations of Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) and Skill-Based Treatment (SBT) as compassionate, evidence-based approaches to understanding and supporting complex behavior. This session provides an overview of how PFA and SBT can foster safer, more joy filled learning environments by prioritizing communication, regulation, and meaningful skill development. Participants will also explore the integration of the PEAK Relational Training System and AIM (Accept, Identify, Move) framework, and learn how these tools are being applied through the Hawaiʻi Department of Education’s C.A.R.E. (Compassionate Approach to Relational Education) Project to strengthen student outcomes, educator capacity, and school-wide systems of support. This session highlights the power of connection, collaboration, and compassionate practices to bring more joy into teaching and learning.
This session builds on the morning block "Regulate Then Educate" - Let's dive deep my people!
