<h2>TLDR</h2>
Behavior interventionists are in high demand and short on time. These five podcast episodes deliver quick, classroom-ready strategies, from preventing behaviors before they start to understanding extinction and behavioral momentum. Listen on your commute and bring new tools back to your students.
<h2>Why These Resources Matter for Behavior Interventionists</h2>

 The role of a school-based behavior interventionist (also called a behavior technician or BII in some districts) can be extraordinarily challenging. <a href="https://online.marybaldwin.edu/applied-behavior-analysis-skills-demand/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It is also a role that is rapidly expanding1.</a>

While the available resources are growing, they can still feel outpaced by the demands of a full school year. Finding practical, relevant support that fits into your day is not always easy.
That is why we have helped sift through what is out there and identified a handful of podcast episodes that deliver real, usable strategies. Below is a curated list of podcast episodes selected for their practical, classroom-ready strategies you can put to use right away.
