Behavior Intervention Plan

Student Contributor: K. Aselton
A behavior intervention plan is a corrective tool that can be useful in the classroom when working with a specific student, and a specific behavior.

A behavior prevention plan can be used in the classroom with a student who has a specific behavior that needs correcting, such as anger, or movement. A teacher would work one on one with a student on writing this intervention plan and communicate with the student ways to prevent, or replace the behavior with a more positive one. If the plan was focused on preventing anger, the teacher and student will talk about ways to prevent the anger, but if it can not be prevented at times they will also talk about ways to calm down. The teacher and student might come up with three prevention strategies such as counting to ten, breathing deeply, and taking a break. Then they will discuss ways to calm down, such as taking a walk, or taking a break. Now that the student and teacher have developed a behavior intervention plan, they can put it to use in the classroom and work on it together.

The behavior intervention plan tool is collaborative because it includes both the teacher and the student working together to find techniques that will work in the plan. This is a corrective tool because it works on correcting a students behavior. Correcting students behavior will help prevent future outbursts and disruptions in the classroom, allowing not only that student, but all the students in the classroom to have a safer and easier learning environment.
