Behavior Is Language

Welcome to Behavior is Language®, an interactive computer-based instruction course, designed to give you a new perspective on student behavior and effective tools for facilitating positive student change.  Behavior is Language provides a developmental framework for understanding what students are trying to tell you through the "language" of their behavior.  The course teaches behavioral techniques and intervention strategies that remediate disruptive behaviors, reduce power struggles while increasing classroom control and reduce your workloads and burnout.  This program helps you, as well as students, find creative, effective solutions to behavioral problems.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: All VESi courses receive letter grades. Grading information can be found in your Course Syllabus Addendum. All VESi courses are tablet compatible! 

There is a two week minimum for course completion. For your maximum time, Ashland's academic calendar is September 1st through August 31st each year and you are required to complete your course within that academic calendar. Also, please be certain to refer to the attachments that are sent with your course link(s) as those items contain important information regarding exam score and essay requirements.
