behaviors. ! Children learn how to work more cooperatively without labeling
behaviors in a negative way. ! Stresses the importance of flexibility in the classroom (for both
students and teachers!) ! Allows teachers to spend less time on behavior management as
well as improves individual behaviors. ! It gives teachers proactive strategies to use!
