TRAINING: Flip It! An Intervention Strategy for Addressing Challenging Behaviors
FLIP IT® is a strategy anyone can use to address a challenging behavior. It is a simple, kind, strength-based, commonsense, and effective four-step process embodied in the FLIP IT mnemonic: F - Feelings, L - Limits, I - Inquiries, and P - Prompts. FLIP IT transforms best practice into a strategy that is easy to remember, applicable in a variety of challenging situations, and portable. FLIP IT may not be rocket science, but it is brain development and an effective strategy all teachers should know how to use. Come learn how to FLIP your kids instead of flipping your lid!
