Behavior Plan
IV Right and Responsibilities
Management of Materials, Time and Classroom

Behavior management is key in our special education classroom. My teacher has been at this school for 4 years and has had many of these kids that long. Her organization of time and behavior plans have been very simliar over the years. This allows for consistancy for the returning students. The students know what is expected of them and know the consequeces if they do not meet that expecation. During each day student can receive “penalties” for bad bevavior. We make a tally mark on our daily behavior sheets. There are 6 categories of frequent behavior that can be marked: homework, respect, talking, arguing, traveling and working. If studetns are arguging, talking out of turn, disrespecting friends or teachers, wandering around the room or not working, they receive one penalty for each offense. Before the students leave for lunch we evaluate their behavior and work ethic.

If the student has receive 3 or less penalties he has has a successful day. If he/she has received 4 penalties, he loses 15 minutes of recess. 5 penalties equals no recess for the day. 6 penalties is no recess and parent referral. 7 penalties= no recess, parent referal and discipline referral. If student has not turned in their homework or receives 4 or more penalties there is no success day, the student then receives a zero. To receive the movie/snack reward at the end of the day they can only have 1 zero. If this is not achieve he/she has to finish up work in the hallway, working with a teacher. He does not receive the movie or snack.

Each week we have had a problem with the student consistenly talking, especially during small group instructional time. This week I intervined with this student and I put him on a specific behavior plan. This is what the student book looked like.




Each part of the morning was to be analyzed for this student. Here is his target behavior:
***(Student name) will limit is talking to only talking when he is called on or during appropriate group discussions. He will not blurt out or keep talking when the teacher is talking.

The teacher will monitor his progress during each group. If student is meeting our goal, he will receive a sticker for each part of the day he is successful at. If student talks out of turn, the teacher will put an “X” in the sticker bubble. To achieve a successful day student will need to achieve 5 out of 7 stickers. If student has a success day, he will earn 10 minutes of free time, at the end of math. (11:40 am) Free time activities will be decided together by student and teacher. Possible options: play game boy, have time at the couch, etc. In order to earn the reward day on Thursday, he must have 4 out of 5 success days. If student had gotten his X on his book, and continues to talk the teacher will tally each outburst. If he receives 4 tally marks he will be sent back to his seat or away from the group. If he is talking at his seat, he will be moved to the study carrel. If there is still a problem, other consequences will be decided by the teacher. (Possibly missing all or part of recess, finishing work during his lunch or recess.) If student receives the X and tally marks, that will automatically not be a success day.
