6.5 (6K6B, 6S1C, 6S2C): Ability to effectively employ a variety of strategies that reinforce positive behavior.

Introduction

The purpose of this unit is to examine how you and teachers can plan together in managing student behaviors. Planning for behavior management is important because it establishes a consistent approach to teaching students behaviors, provides a convenient way to document progress, assists teachers in training of paraprofessionals, and helps clarify specific teacher and paraprofessional responsibilities. This unit discusses teacher and paraprofessional roles in behavior management, and provides information about behavior management plans.
