A compassionate lens helps you see the functional in what people call dysfunctional. #behavioranalysis #abachat

Or a combination of variables I failed to address.

They were tired and frustrated - I got that. Really struggle myself to not put a "but..." there as in, "...but we have to try something!" or "...but this has the potential to alleviate, trust me!". They did not trust me.

I'm curious abt the role of counter-control in organizations when confronted with an idea to #makeshifthappen. I think I experienced some of this when trying to embody Universal Protocols as a recommendation. I have a chance for a re-do in the Fall and hoping to make more stick.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

Anybody doing research in this area? In all the times I recommended Universal Protocols, I had a group that seemed to struggle to make the shift and instead they hunkered down on their "bmod" ways. They really disliked Universal Protocols but I think it was something else.

In a fight for what got my attention and energy, I simplified my practice. I prioritized values over procedures. Co-operation over compliance. Compassion over complaining. I focused on learning from a place of joy and not just adversity.

Hello Twittersphere 👋 I've missed you and the #behavioranalysis discussions we have here. It's been a tough couple of years being in public education, staying afloat during staff shortages, trying to keep hope for behaviour change alive.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

The intersection b/w my own therapy where I've been unpacking my own story and how I practice professionally resulted in a lot of a-ha moments. I started to think more abt my values and the lived experiences of others. Where I had a fixed belief, I tried to be more dynamic.

@_LisaCherry This is something I am very interested in knowing more about or changing my practice. I don't do research but data is gathered regularly to assess and later evaluate interventions.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

@Amanda_R_Garcia + 1! And contextually relevant. Not all escape behaviour is remedied by teaching "break".

@KFlemming It's a significant faith day across two religious groups so many staff have the day off (approved requests submitted at the beginning of the school year). In a normal year we'd have enough supply staff to cover.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

I know this is a symptom of mostly working alone since we're down staff and itinerant staff are being pulled to cover staff absences in classrooms.

Interdisciplinary work is not a luxury. It is essential.

We are better together.

And alone I panic.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

Last night I awoke with imposter syndrome panic. "I'm in over my head. My behaviour plans suck. I'm making terrible recommendations. Who do I think I am?" 🙀

10 years in #onted; almost 10 years before that doing community-based behaviour consultation.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

@jkoblovskyca It's a significant faith day x 2 so many staff have already put in requests for that day.

[Tricia-Lee Keller, R.B.A. (Ont.) @behaviouratplay]

@DrErinLeif This feels like a 🫂.

12 years of doing this!?!? #MyTwitterAnniversary
