TARGET BEHAVIOR
The recurring target behavior(s) that are most interfering with Saita’’s success in school, as well as impedes the learning of others, includes:
A. Engaging in off-task behavior(s) as demonstrated contributing off-topic, providing inappropriate answers and calling out before getting permission to respond.
B. Saita also engages in aggressive behavior towards his peers which involves using aggressive language on the playground, making rude comments, and getting upset when he doesn’t want to follow the rules of the game.
ANTECEDENTS
The target behaviors have been observed and reported to occur under the following conditions:
A. during independent work;
B. during class discussions;
C. on the playground; …show more content…

Additionally, aggression is a concerning behavior that Saita has engaged in on multiple occasions throughout the current school year, therefore, aggression should be addressed too.
In order to address the current target behaviors, I recommend implementing the following behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) that will utilize the student success skills intervention model. After Saita participates in multiple small group sessions and classroom sessions with the school counselor, his BIP will address the following:
A. Learning how to ask appropriate questions and identify when a break is needed
Allowing Saita to engage in a requested activity and/or task after waiting for designated period of time, or completing a short amount of items (that will consist of taking no more than five minutes). Providing a visual timer for Saita when needed, and he will be allowed to engage in the activity and/or task when timer ends.
Provide choices when placing a demand/making a request (e.g., "you can complete this section first or this one first," "when you finish, would you like to do this task or this activity?" "Do you want to help me first, or complete your math problems first?").
B. Show Saita how to ask and share the appropriate details about his …show more content…

This may be initiated by Saita or prompted by staff, prior to Saita engaging in off-task behaviors. Options during break should consist of tasks that will allow Saita to be safely off-task, while not disturbing the classroom instruction/activities. This may include putting head down, looking at books, playing with objects in desk, drawing, etc. During group instruction, staff may also assign a job to Saita to assist with engagement. This may include being the teacher helper, a helper to another student, being the time tracker to stay on schedule, the person who passes out this paper when we get to a certain part of the story, etc. This may assist in maintaining attention due to an individual purpose/responsibility.

During independent seat work, Saita will also be provided with: a. breaks; b. the option to choose what part of a task he wants to complete first; and c. the option of choosing a section that he would like to complete by himself and a section that he would like to complete with an adult and/or peer partner.
C. Provide

    Students who frequently engage in off-task and inappropriate behavior disrupt the classroom and hinder learning for other students (Riley, et.al, 2011). In order to reduce off-task behaviors exhibited by a particular student, it is crucial to determine the function of the behavior by conducting a functional behavioral assessment (FBA). Once the cause of the behavior is found, teachers can take steps to reduce the inappropriate behavior by implanting strategies to decrease their occurrence.

    There are four general goals for student misbehavior, which include attention, power, revenge, and avoidance-of-failure. In the past, I have responded to all of these goals for misbehavior in the same or similar ways. I would give verbal warnings, and if that didn’t work I would raise my voice/yell, have the student sit in the hallway, send the student to the office, call home, and/or assign an after school detention. These consequences would usually temporarily stop a behavior, but they were not long-term solutions. I now know that there are very different strategies that should be used to deal with students who are misbehaving according to what their goal is.

    John, a 15 year old male, is an 8th grade student attending a local middle school. John is a transfer student from another state and he been placed into an inclusion classroom because he has been identified as a student with a disability and requires an IEP. Lately, John has been verbally and physically disruptive during math class. Some of the disruptive behaviors John often exhibit in the classroom include making loud noises and jokes during instruction, calling his peers names, physically touching his peers, and grabbing group materials. John’s teacher collected data and learned that his verbal disruptive behavior occurs 4-8 times during each sixty minute class meeting, and his physical group disruptions occur 75% of the time he works with a group. After meeting with John’s other teachers, his math teacher learned that his disruptive behavior is only present during math class. According to John’s math test scores on his IEP, his math instructor also learned that math is a challenging subject for John and he is significantly below grade level. Both John’s math teacher and his IEP team reached an agreement that they would like to decrease the number of times John disrupts instruction and eventually eliminate the disruptive behavior. The replacement behavior for John is to remain focused and on task during math instruction and assigned activities without triggering any disruptions (i.e., distracting loud noises or jokes causing the class to go into a laughing uproar, physical contact with peers, name calling, or grabbing his peers’ materials). Instead of John being punished for his disruptive behavior, the replacement behavior would allow him to remain in math class, and he will also be able to receive posit...

    When formulating a plan, it is important to remember that students do not exist in a vacuum. What is a problem behavior in one class may not be a problem in another; problem behavior from the home may never manifest in school. A key means of decreasing the frequency and intensity of problem behavior and reducing the need for more intrusive intervention procedures is enhancing a student's quality of life.

  • Negative Impact of Noncompliance with Instructions

    2798 Words  | 6 Pages

    Noncompliance has several negative impacts on an individual. Firstly, noncompliance to requests or instructions can hinder a child from learning. This is especially so for children who engages in noncompliance behaviours maintained by escape. A child’s learning will be affected if he is often out of the class, taking away opportunities for him to learn new skills. Thus, compliance with teacher instructions in classroom settings is critical for effective learning (Martens & Kelly, 1993). In addition, noncompliance affects social skills development as the child may learn to engage in inappropriate behaviours to gain attention or escape from demand. These inappropriate behaviours may in turn affect positive social interactions with his peers and teachers. Secondly, noncompliance also limits access to potential job opportunities, especially for growing individuals with learning and developmental disabilities. Ability to comply to instructions and requests from supervisor is a necessary skill required of an employee. In addition, noncompliance are often made worse when individuals engage in aggression or self-injurious behaviours to escape from demands. Noncompliance, coupled with inappropriate behaviours, ...

  • Effective Discipline in Classroom Management

    1120 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a teacher managing problem behavior in your classroom can be one of the most challenging tasks. Behavior problems can range from disruption of lessons to acts of violence against fellow students and teachers. Children’s emotional setbacks and life challenges can also contribute to behavior issues at school. A study done by the Justice Center and the Public Policy Research Institute found that six out of ten students suffered from an “emotional disturbance” and were expelled or suspended between seventh and twelfth grade (Firke, 2011). This same study showed that discipline varied greatly between schools. This report also revealed the urgent need for a more thoughtful technique in school discipline policies. In many cases teachers have exhausted their classroom management strategies without success. Behavior Modification is aimed at improving school and classroom behavior, and can give teachers additional tools to help them to deal proactively and effectively with behaviors that are disruptive to students and teachers in the classroom. When children are disruptive in the classroom it can cause a lot of problems for their classmates and their teacher. Yet, in the long run, it's the disruptive child themselves who is most impacted, on both a social and educational level (Epstein, Atkins, Cullinan, Kutash, & Weaver, 2008). Behavior modification techniques should be used in school, to change the negative behaviors, and increase the positive behaviors seen in these children.
