Welcome to Behavior Matters: A Statewide Conference for School Professionals! Through two days of keynotes, breakout sessions, and collaboration with practitioners and state partners from across the Commonwealth, participants will leave with actionable strategies and knowledge grounded in the science of behavior to assist them in implementing effective behavioral practices in their own contexts.
As a virtual attendee, you will have access to all of our sessions that are happening live in Reston as they happening by joining the Zoom links below. We ask that you do not share this page link directly with anyone who has not registered for the conference.
Once the conference has wrapped up, you will be notified via email when session recordings are available online. You are free to share the recorded sessions with anyone who may want to see them.
As you attend our virtual sessions, please feel free to use the chat feature of Zoom to ask questions and engage with our speakers and presenteres. Our onsite volunteers will do their best to ensure questions are answered during sessions or are passed on to presenters for follow up.
Presentation materials are available in the Virtual Session Materials Folder– simply click on the name of the session you are attending to access any available materials.
