Education Assignment : Behavior Contracts and Intervention Plans Paper K-grade 3
As teachers continue to work with increasing numbers of students who exhibit behavior concerns, they need tools and strategies to address these behaviors.
Research has shown that developing behavior contracts is an effective tool for modifying student behavior (Jones & Jones, 2015).
Directions:
• Create a behavior contract and a behavior plan for the student you chose for kindergartenor grade 3Note: Use Figures 10.10, 10.11, and 10.17 in the course text to guide your work.
Write a 2-page reflection paper in which you respond the questions below:Using APA style and other references.
1. Explain how your contract and plan are, designed to meet the diverse needs of your student. Provide a rationale as to how the contract and plan can, be used for the student's success in your particular content area.
2. Explain your plan for implementing these with your student. What steps will you take to change the student's behavior with these tools?
3. Referring to Walden's mission for social change, explain how implementing behavior interventions with your student will lead to positive social change for your students and impact, the school community.
Figure 10.17 presents the form we use to record a classroom, behavior intervention plan. This form can, be used by an individual teacher to summarize the behavior change plan developed based on a classroom behavior assessment or by a team supporting a teacher in developing a plan.
Figure 10.11 is a format we have used successfully with high school students. Though it is not necessary to develop a written contract, putting an agreement in writing tends to clarify each party's responsibilities.
Whenever possible, students should be involved in determining the terms of a contract. Teachers should also help students express their feelings about a contract.
Finally, once the contract has been ,negotiated, the student should be able to paraphrase clearly the conditions outlined in the contract.
Figure 10.10 is a form for intermediate grade students
