Bobs Behavioral Intervention Plan Form

Student: Bob Teacher: Ms. Lupo

School: Middle School Date: 4/26/2016

*** I am the behavioral specialist and I am teaching the teachers***

Step Action Outcome

1 Identify the function of the
behavior.
Describe the behavior in
measurable terms.
How does the behavior
meet the students needs?
2 Select a replacement behavior.
What should the student do
instead?
What do successful
students do?
Will the behavior help the
student meet his or her
needs?
The function of the behavior is seeking adult attention to avoid completing
his own assignments:
Within a class period Bob will be off task 75% of the time. Bob
will raise his hand or call the teacher over to help him. Bob will
also put his head down and not complete work until the teacher sits
with him and walks through each step individually with him.
The behavior typically results in teacher attention to the point the
teacher is completing his work for him.
The teachers should ignore any of Bobs questions for the first 2
minutes of class. During this time Bob should be working
independently on the bell work until it is time for the teacher to
come around and sign it off.
Successful teachers are able to give non-verbal cues to students to
keep them on task. Teachers are also able to read the students to see
if they are truly having a problem or if they are just seeking adult
attention.

3 Design a teaching plan.
The expected behavior includes:
Conditions
Behaviors
Non-examples should:
Describe when not to use the work for him so he wont act out.
the behavior
Be realistic
Teaching examples should:
Describe when to use the
behavior
Be realistic

By having the teacher ignore any questions for 2 minutes or until it
is time to sign off on the bell work it will allow of Bob to get the
adult attention he is seeking but for an appropriate reason.
Expected Behavior- Teacher will give Eagle Bucks to Bob when he is on
task and completing his own work.
Conditions: Teachers must ignore inappropriate behaviors and not
sit alongside him.
Behavior: Teachers will support Bob when he needs help not when
he is trying to avoid the assignment.
Teaching Examples- Teacher will give positive praise and Eagle Bucks
(school wide reward system) when Bob is on task. Teacher will also stick
to what she says for discipline.
Non-examples- Having the teacher sit next to Bob and essentially doing
Teacher will not give attention to Bob when he is being loud to try
and get adult attention.
When Bob puts his head down teacher will not sit next to him and
keep reminding him to stay focused.
Teaching strategies-
Token System: The school uses a token system with Eagle Bucks
and the students can buy thing s with them. With Eagle Bucks
students can go to sports game, get free dress day, and buy snacks
from the school store. This system works great at the school. The
teachers must know when it is acceptable to had them out so they
do not lose the specialness of them. Bobs teachers should make
it clear on how students can get Eagle Bucks so the students know
what type of behavior is acceptable.
Activity Reinforcement: As a teacher if Bob was on task 80% of
the class period he can be on his phone for the last 3-minutes of
class and the next day he can listen to music during bell work. This
will make him motivated to stay on task.

4 Arrange the environment to
facilitate success
Consider changes to:
Physical environment
Classroom procedures
Task requirements
Teacher-student interactions
Lupo 3
Good teachers need to follow through with what they are going to
do. By being consistent Bob will learn what is acceptable and what
is not.
Problem situations-
Physical environment: Problems arise in classroom with the class
setting arrangement. The teacher lectures at the front of the class
and hardly walks around. This makes it hard for the students to get
the support if they have questions and it is also hard for the teacher
to give non-verbal prompts the students to stay focused. For this
big of a classroom it is important for teachers to walk around the
class so they monitor the students behaviors. Another problem are
the desks. The students share a tables with 3-4 other classmates.
This is a huge distraction for Bob because he is easily distracted by
others. As a teacher I would have assigned seats so I am able to
monitor who they will be sitting with. For Bob I would suggest to
pair him with a female classmate that stays on task and is a little
bossy. This will naturally make him stay on task because his
partner will help redirect him.
Classroom procedures: As a teacher they need to have a supportive
classroom environment. For Bob having a system in place will
help him learn what is acceptable. I would also suggest to follow
through with whatever punishment is in place of the behavior. For
example, If the student pulls out their phone and you (the teacher)
say put it away or I will call the office and then the student pulls it
out again and you say the same thing. Nothing is being done about
the behavior. In fact, the student is learning that you will not
actually follow through with what you say you will do.
Task requirements: The teacher and students need to come up with
an agreement on what is appropriate and what is not appropriate
behaviors for the classroom. I would also recommend to come up
with punishments to not appropriate behaviors. By having it clear
and direct the students will know exactly what is expected in this
class.

5 Develop consequences for
desired and undesired behavior.
(Artificial consequences should be
used only when natural
consequences are not sufficient!)
If the replacement behavior
is not exhibited despite
natural positive
consequences and prompts
If the problem behavior
continues despite natural
positive consequences

Teacher-student interactions: Teachers need to to know their
students. This will help with monitoring the class. When a teacher
cares about their students the students can feel it. For Bob I would
suggest to let him know you care about him and his future. By
making a point to ask how he is doing before class starts Bob will
know he is cared for in this class so he doesnt have to worry about
being isolated he can just work though his work like his peers.
Facilitate success- Facilitating success for the Bob is very important and
for the teacher to be consistent. The teacher needs to told up to her/his
agreements and ignore inappropriate behaviors and praise/ give Eagle
Buck when Bob is on task. If the teacher is direct and consistent the
behavior problems will decrees and might disappear .
Natural positive consequences- If teaching is direct and consistent
naturally the behaviors will decrease. This will allow for the student to
actually work and learn thus, improving his grade. Also, by pairing Bob
up with a bossy classmate she will keep him on task because she isnt
going to want him to be talking the entire period.
Withhold access to natural positive consequences- N/AI would not
withhold teacher access to student.
Prompts- The teachers prompt to keep Bob on task can be you are doing
great keep it up! or it could be as simple as a smile in his direction. It is
important not to give attention to his negative behavior because then you
are feeding into the behavior. However, when he is acting out it could be a
good time for a whole class review of the class rules so Bob is not being
singled out.
Artificial positive consequences- Teacher could give him Eagle Bucks or
praise when he is doing anything that is acceptable. If student doesnt
wish to have Eagle Bucks then the teacher and student can discuss a
different reward.
Negative consequences- Bob will not be given 3 minutes of free time on
the phone nor will he get to listen to music during bell work the next day.

6 Write behavioral objectives
Learner: who will
demonstrate the behavior
Condition: When, Where,
and under what
circumstances
Behavior: A physical
description of what the
learner is to do
Criteria: How much of the
behavior is necessary for
the objective to be
complete
Lupo 5
Learner: Teachers will be able to have direct and consistent
teaching allowing Bob to stay on task without adult seeking
behaviors.
Condition: Bob will be able to stay on task when the teacher is
being direct and and consistent. This should be for every class
period especially for ones with more behavioral problems.
Behavior:
o Teacher will have clear rules and be consistent in how they
discipline Bobs behaviors.
o Bob will come into the classroom and work on bell work
independently for the first 2 minutes then if he has a
question he can ask or he will wait until the teacher comes
around to sign off on bell work.
o The teacher will support Bob when he needs help and will
reframe from sitting next to him longer then 5 minutes.
Criteria: The teachers will use praise and Eagle Bucks when Bobs
behavior is acceptable. This will be a learning process for the
teacher and Bob because they are both breaking old bad habits. I
suspect this will take the rest of the year to learn the new desired
behaviors for each party.
