Student: I chose this student because I had the opportunity to work more with him. Upon arrival at school, I usually sit down with this student to support them in the classroom environment. By observing him, the target behavior I would like to address is his tendency to abandon the task and engage in disruptive behavior. Some weaknesses I've noticed are that he gets distracted easily and tends to give up when tasks are difficult. The strengths I have noticed in this student are that when he applies himself, he is able to complete tasks and has a genuine passion for learning, which will be very important as he tackles difficult tasks. According to the teacher, this student performs slightly below average; however, he has recently shown significant improvement in his work. I observed that he took the initiative to bring his science projects into the classroom and tries to do his best. Socially he is well liked by his peers. He always talks to his friends and is overall respectful towards them, but can sometimes become hyperactive. Although he has not been officially diagnosed, the teacher suspects that he may suffer from a disability, such as ADHD. Teacher Behavior Plan: The teacher has implemented a friendly but firm behavior plan in her classroom. She believes in working with her students and understanding their needs, but ensures they are aware of the classroom rules. In his classroom, he has the following rules in place: listen carefully, follow directions, work quietly and not disturb others, respect others and be kind in words and actions, respect school and personal property, work and play in safety. If students break these rules, she has strategies that... halfway down the paper... receive the reward of going to break on time or taking a 10-minute break to relax. This will allow the student to understand that there are consequences to their behavior and would increase their motivation to complete homework. Finally, I believe that using dependent contingencies is an effective reactive strategy because it will create accountability for this student to stay on task and progress. with the rest of his peers. For example, if everyone else is busy and completing their tasks and they are all punished except him just because he decided not to complete his work, then he would encourage him to complete his work so that everyone can enjoy the break together. Ultimately, because this strategy discourages the student from dropping the task, it will allow him to make significant improvements and be on par with the reading and math levels of his peers..
