Episode 171: Getting Teacher Buy-In

Let’s be honest, teachers have a lot on their hands in the classroom. So how, as BCBAs, can we help support them and gain teacher buy-in to help our learners without putting more on 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.

We love suggesting the group rating scale data sheet to teachers because it’s a simple, flexible data sheet to use in a classroom. It’s available for download below for you to use inside your own classrooms.
