Behavior Intervention Plan Assignment Instructions

Overview

The purpose of this Behavior Intervention Plan Assignment is to provide a means of practice in Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) development. Behavior Intervention Plans are often developed and implemented in an effort to intervene in unacceptable behaviors. The creation of a plan requires determining the antecedents and consequences of the behavior so that the environment can be adapted to correct the behavior. It is important that teachers, and others, understand the purpose of a Behavior Intervention Plan and what is required to develop an effective plan.

Instructions

You will produce a BIP—full in its overall scope, but not in-depth.
