1. Proposal for behavior change plan
Teachers must employ a variety of assessments, instructional strategies, and intervention
techniques to support their students who are displaying behaviors that are getting in the
way of successful learning in the classroom. If initial classroom management efforts are
unsuccessful in helping such a student, then it is often determined that the situation
warrants a behavior plan. For a behavior plan to be successful, it is imperative that
stakeholders collaborate to support the student in reducing the occurrence of challenging
behaviors and increasing appropriate behaviors. When appropriate, the student should also
be involved in the development of the behavior plan. Providing students with choices and
involving them in decision-making aids in the development of self-advocacy and self-
determination.For this benchmark, you will propose a behavioral intervention plan for a
student based on the information provided in “Student Scenario: Joseph.” Use the “Proposal
for Behavior Change Template” to complete this assignment.Part 1: Data Collection and
Definition of Student BehaviorDescribe Joseph’s behaviors on the ABC chart using the
“Proposal for Behavior Change Template” provided. Create one measurable, observable
operational definition for Joseph’s challenging behavior.Part 2: Analysis of Data The
hypothesis is a best guess of the cause of the function of behavior that summarizes the
observations. It includes the when (antecedent or trigger), the what (behavior of student),
and the why (outcome student’s target behavior: attention, tangible, or escape).Part 3:
Intervention Ideas and Replacement BehaviorsBased on your analysis of the FBA data and
the operational definition for Joseph’s behavior, identify an appropriate replacement
behavior.Part 4: Proposed Intervention PlanPropose an intervention plan that outlines one
goal for Joseph and includes the following:· Replacement behavior and specific steps to be
implemented that will help Joseph reach each goal.· Strategies to manage activities and
social interaction through collaboration with general educators and other colleagues .·
Rewards and reinforcements you will use with Joseph.· A plan to monitor progress by
gathering ongoing data from colleagues and student’s family .· Steps to resolve any
escalation of behavior safely and appropriately .Be sure to incorporate appropriate
intervention and replacement behavior ideas identified in Part 3.Part 5: Reflection In a 250-
500 word summary reflect upon how you, in your future professional practice, will ensure
formal and informal assessments of student behaviors are unbiased and technically sound,
considering culture, language, gender, and ability differences.Support your template
