Getting Teacher Buy In

Shira Karpel & Shayna Gaunt
About this episode

Teachers have so much to manage in their roles. As BCBAs, how can we support them and gain their buy in without adding more to their plates? Here, we discuss the importance of respecting a teacher’s classroom and how to pair yourself with positive reinforcement. It’s also important to start small and identify something you can help them with as a quick win.

We discuss how to incorporate a teacher’s values and what they want for their classroom. This will help you create meaningful goals. Our conversation also includes how to be mindful of your body language, how to incorporate an easy-to-follow data collection system, and why modeling strategies yourself helps obtain teacher buy in.


What’s Inside:

  • How to pair yourself with positive reinforcement
  • How to choose an easy-to-follow data collection method
  • Why modeling strategies yourself creates buy-in
