Abstract: Public school districts are recognizing the impact behavior analysts can have with students both with and without disabilities. Behavior analysts are serving in a broadening role within public schools, including individual and classroom service delivery, staff training, and systemic change initiatives. However, establishing and maintaining a collaborative and ethical partnership can be challenging. Schools often have limited knowledge regarding the skills of behavior analysts as well as our ethical code. This panel presentation will bring together behavior analysts who have a wide variety of experiences working in and with multiple public school districts to discuss strategies and considerations for successful collaboration as both a school district employee or a contracted behavior analyst. The discussion will focus on practical and ethical recommendations to foster an effective and long-term relationship that will benefit both the behavior analyst and the school district. The panelists will discuss considerations for guiding resolutions to ethical issues within the public school setting.
