Purpose:

The behavior change plan is a comprehensive and complex analysis of student behavior, learning environments, social and cultural contexts and instructional strategies resulting in an intervention plan that is designed to positively impact student behavior and learning. Candidates in this program have had several opportunities to collect and interpret data of the sort required in the behavior change plan; however, this assignment provides an opportunity to do so in a classroom environment that is directly dedicated to students with behavioral and emotional disorders. It is expected that all of the skills developed in prior assignments and experiences will be applied to the intervention that is designed for the behavior change plan. The documentation will be evaluated using the EI Behavior Change Plan Rubric.

Candidate Directions:

Develop a Behavior Change Plan. Your written summary must include:

·  identification of a child for whom the behavior change plan will be developed.

·  identification of a target behavior to be reduced, replaced, or increased.

·  collection of data that includes:

·  present level of performance.

·  prior information related to academic, emotional and behavioral testing, observations and performance.

·  design of an intervention plan that will directly influence the target behavior and indirectly increase student performance in the school setting.

·  implementation of the intervention plan.

·  summation of findings and recommendations for future initiatives.
