This is the first course in a three-part series on behavior learning foundations.  This course focuses on introducing the foundational principles of behavior learning and understanding the role of consequences.  The second course builds on the first by examining the role of antecedent triggers, setting events, and existing skills in behavior learning.  The third course focuses exclusively on how we can harness our understanding of behavior learning to teach new behaviors to students.  

Participants in this course will be able to:

• Explain the relationship between behavior and the context in which it occurs.
• Identify and explain the role of consequences that follow behavior in influencing behavior learning.
• Identify and accurately categorize the different types of behavior consequences. 

Upon completion of this course, participants will automatically be enrolled in the second course in this series, Behavior Learning Foundations 2.
