Changing Problem Behavior with Goal Setting and Feedback: A Guide to BEP Planning and Implementation

This 2008 presentation describes one elementary school's experience using a school-based Behavior Education Program (BEP) to provide daily support and monitoring for students with at-risk or high-risk behavior (i.e., students in tiers 2 and 3 of a three-tiered Reponse-to-Intervention framework). The presentation identifies the school's primary goals and assumptions in implementing BEP and outlines its use of BEP practices such as daily progress reports, check-in/check-out sessions, and behavior correction procedures.

Evidence Based Practices in Classroom Management

This 2008 presentation describes procedures that educators can use to institute five key features of evidence-based classroom management: (1) maximizing structure in the classroom, (2) teaching and reinforcing expectations, (3) actively engaging students, (4) acknowledging appropriate behavior, and (5) responding to inappropriate behavior. For each of these five features, the presentation provides questions for teachers to self-assess their current practice and suggests possible items for teachers to incorporate into a classroom management action plan. This presentation was given by Dr. Brandi Simonsen of the Center for Behavioral Education and Research in April 2008 at a state conference for Michigan's Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative (MiBLSi).
