Behavior Plan

Review how to create behavior plans

Describe a hypothetical class of your own design and creation. Include in your description a listing of the number of students with the specific learning issues listed below. Select two hypothetical students from your class and identify a specific behavioral issue you want to address (must be different for each student). Develop a specific behavior plan for each student designed to address the identified behavioral needs and issues based on the presenting problem. See Appendix B for specific details and scoring rubric.

Possible Behavioral Issues:

Aggression (physical and/or verbal)
Refusal to work
Inability to focus
Can’t sit still
Sleeps in class
Argumentative

Sample Solution

Hypothetical Class Description:

Please provide a detailed description of your hypothetical class, including:

  • Grade level and subject
  • Number of students
  • Overall classroom environment and expectations
  • General student population characteristics (e.g., diverse learners, socioeconomic backgrounds)

Student Selection:

Choose two hypothetical students from your class with distinct behavioral issues from the given list:

  • Student 1: Name, age, presenting behavioral issue (e.g., refusal to work)
  • Student 2: Name, age, presenting behavioral issue (e.g., inattentiveness)

Behavior Plan Development:

For each student, create a separate behavior plan following this structure:

I. Problem Statement:

  • Clearly define the specific behavioral issue observed in the student.
  • Provide concrete examples of the behavior and its impact on the student and the learning environment.

II. Data Collection:

  • Describe how you will collect data on the frequency and duration of the behavior (e.g., observation checklists, anecdotal notes).
  • Specify the data collection period (e.g., one week).

III. Positive Reinforcement Strategies:

  • Identify 2-3 positive reinforcement strategies to encourage desired behavior (e.g., verbal praise, tokens, privileges).
  • Explain how these strategies will be implemented consistently and contingently on positive behavior.

IV. Intervention Strategies:

  • Choose 2-3 intervention strategies to address the undesired behavior (e.g., redirection, time-out, loss of privileges).
  • Ensure the interventions are aligned with the severity of the behavior and adhere to school-wide positive behavior practices.

V. Communication and Collaboration:

  • Describe how you will communicate the behavior plan to the student, parents, and relevant school personnel.
  • Outline how you will collaborate with these individuals to monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.

VI. Progress Monitoring and Evaluation:

  • Explain how you will track the effectiveness of the behavior plan using the collected data.
  • Specify a timeframe for reviewing the plan and making adjustments based on progress.

Additional Considerations:

  • Tailor the plan to the student’s individual needs, learning style, and cultural background.
  • Prioritize building a positive and supportive relationship with the student.
  • Focus on proactive strategies to prevent unwanted behaviors and promote positive alternatives.
  • Seek guidance from school-based professionals like behavior specialists or counselors if needed.

Remember: This is a template to guide your plan development. You should research, consult relevant resources, and adapt it to your specific class context and student needs.
