¶ … Positive in Student Behavior Change
The purpose of this research is to investigate ways to increase positive behavior of students in special education programs who spend time in inclusive general education settings. The research design is action research, which generally means that quantitative data collection will be conducted, although the stakeholders in the action research project may chose to also collect qualitative data. Since the unit of analysis will be individual students in classroom settings, a case study framework for the action research is both logical and practical.
What methods are effective for increasing positive behavior during instructional time?
What methods are effective for increasing positive behavior throughout the school building.
What data collection approach will inform all phases of the positive behavior intervention.
What supports are needed by school administrators to increase the positive behavior of students with learning difficulties?
Target Behaviors
The goal of the action research is to increase the time when students in special education and inclusion settings attend to and cooperatively engage in classroom instruction. Assessing student needs will lead to the identification of behavior supports that will increase time spent sitting and attending to task.
Literature Review
A deep and extensive body of literature on positive...
Horner (2013) and colleagues from other universities and state-level behavior support teams introduce and oversee implementation of school-wide positive behavior supports and instruction (PBSI) and also provide technical assistance for individual classroom teachers and teams. Lyons (2012) reported that,
"Current literature on Inclusive education suggest that there are two cornerstones for effective practice may be identified (a) curricula and instruction that are accessible and beneficial to all students and (b) a continuum of supports and services for students and teachers. Studies report that when a foundation of appropriate instruction and support are in place, inclusive education can benefit all students."
Rationale for the Research Design
There are strong precedents for research designs in the area of behavior change in school settings; a number of models are available through the PBSI literature. Action research is based on the notion that a change of practice will occur as a result of having conducted an investigation. As practitioners modify their behavior in an ongoing fashion in response to research findings, social change is generally a by-product or is, in fact, a primary objective of the action research project.
Data Collection
Data can be qualitative…

Behavior Intervention Plan for Leonard The BIP (behavior intervention plans) are the strategy to prevent the behavioral problem among the schoolchildren by addressing their cause. The case of Leonard reveals that he does not perform well in school, and sometimes leave his seat and skip to the back room. Based on his behavior Ms. Allison recommends that Leonard should be evaluated for special education services, however, his parents refuse to sign
Behavior Management Lee Canter's theory on classroom discipline is designed to accomplish two primary objectives: 1) Increase teachers' efficiency when dealing with student disruption, and 2) to reduce incidences of unacceptable behavior by students by providing proactive instruction about expected student behavior (Burden, 2003). Canter recommends a three-step cycle of behavior management to increase the positive behavior of students and ensure a productive learning environment. The three-steps of the positive behavior
When this occurs, an adult assists him in finding an alternative activity. Prevention Strategies Prepare peers by explaining that Derrick does not know how to appropriately greet them. Let them know that the teachers are working on teaching Derrick how to say "hi" and touch a friend nicely. Encourage the children to help Derrick say "hi" the correct way. Make an effort to monitor Derrick during high risk times or activities

School-Wide Behavior Management POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT ARTICLE REVIEW Positive Behavior Support: Article Review Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is best conceived of as a framework that governs how schools consider and make choices about the discipline in their schools, rather than a particular behavioral management approach. The article suggests a four-step process for schools to better integrate PBS into their secondary and tertiary responses to the 20% of students who do not respond to
It's long been a challenge in pedagogy to find a way to meet the needs of a diverse classroom; students have always presented a range of different cultural, linguistic, social and socioeconomic needs and backgrounds. In fact, in the academic research paper, "Culturally Responsive Differentiated Instruction" by Santamaria, it was found that ultimately, "The best teaching practices are those that consider all learners in a classroom setting and pay close
