The expected behavior during independent is to be doing your work at your
desk or at a group table if you have been assigned to one and not talking loud
or be moving around a lot.
Alternative:
K can be individually reading one of his reading level books while everyone
else is working on their Reading/Writing/Research material.

given when
expected behavior
occurs?
When (How often?)
Who (Who will deliver

positive feedback)?
If K is displaying the
expected behavior of
staying of task he will
receive positive feedback
from his teacher Ms.
Achee, the classroom
assistant, and/or myself.
For the first few times

that K is caught being
on task he will receive
positive feedback each
time. After K has
displayed the expected
behavior for longer
periods of time or
more times than he
shall be rewarded less
frequently.
Environmental Changes
8. What can be done
The
environmental
changes
that have been put into place for K is that his
to increase the
desk is placed separately from the rest of the class by the board and while
occurrence of
expected behavior? the majority of the class has yoga balls as desk chairs, K has lost his
privilege after not being able to remain at his desk with his.
(Be specific.)
Reminders/Prompts
Some reminders/prompts that can increase the occurrence of the expected
behavior is to sit down with K and between the two of you set signal(s) (i.e.
look or gesture) that would mean he needs to change what he is doing if he
sees the signal.
In Ms. Achees classroom there is a behavior system that all of the students
are a part of that is color coded and each student has to color their agenda
to let their parents know how they did for the day. Throughout the day each
student has many opportunities to pin up or pin down colors based on
their preparedness and behavior. After observing K several times now and
(4 points) seeing that he has a tendency to stay on the lower end of this behavior chart
due to not staying focused, with the permission of his teacher, the expected
behavior of staying on task could increase if for every time K completed a
task without getting out of his seat to go disturb someone else he could pin
up a color. It may take some smaller intervals to get K focused at first but it
is the overall goal.

9. What can be done When early signs of problem behavior are observed interventions can be put
when early signs of into place to help explore and hopefully solve the underlying problem before
the problem gets out of hand.

10. How will

you monitor student
progress?
* Attach an
example of a tool
you will use to
collect data.
I am going to monitor Ks progress every week with a simple checklist that I

have attached at the bottom. The checklist is a self-checklist but I am going
to use it in two different ways. I am going to monitor K about while he is
doing his work and fill out the form with my responses. Then I am going to
ask K after sometime to see what he believes the answers should be and then
we will discuss based on those results whether or not he was displaying the
expected behavior and what he can do get back to that if needed.

11. When will you
review student
progress? (Be
specific)
When
Every Friday morning for the next
month I will review Ks progress
when I go to Ms. Achees classroom
to volunteer as a tutor/classroom
assistant.

I will be monitoring K for behavioral
progress.

term and short term
objective for the

components for

Professionally
Prepared (2 pts.)
Long Term Objective

(Expected Behavior)
K will go an entire lesson at his seat
while staying focused and not
disrupting his classmates. K will
work to learn to control his urge to
leave his seat so he can work
towards gaining the privilege of
having a yoga ball for a seat back
like the rest of his classmates
instead of a regular desk chair.
Behavioral Objective
(Acceptable Behavior)
K will work on not disrupting his
classmates from doing their own
work anymore. If there is something
important K wants to talk about or
does not understand he will raise his
hand and wait for Ms. Achee to call
on him. While waiting to be called
on or if Ms. Achee is busy and there
is no classroom assistant or tutor
that can help at the moment, K can
choose to read independently so
that he does not disturb others.
