Purpose
Develop specialized, group system for addressing needs of students with at-risk or significant problem behaviors
![Page 4: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Prerequisites• Effective & proactive SW system in place

Group-based Programming Requirements
• Targeted, individualized, small group interventions– based on functional behavioral assessment
information– social skills instruction– behavioral programming– multiple opportunities for high rates of academic
success
![Page 8: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Daily behavioral monitoring– Self- and/or adult
• Regular, frequent opportunities for positive reinforcement– tangible to social– external to internal– predictable to unpredictable– frequent to infrequent
• Home-school connection
![Page 9: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Other Strategies
• Behavioral contracts
• Adult mentor/monitor
• Targeted social skills instruction– problem solving– conflict management
• Self-management programming
• Academic restructuring
![Page 10: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Example: Behavior Education Program (BEP) (March & Horner, 1998)
• Need– 7% of students with chronic problem behavior– Targeted, group based intervention needed– Expected to work for most but not all students– Interventions must be functional assessment
based• ~24 students
![Page 11: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BEP Features
• Students identified with multiple office referrals
• Student-parent-school contract formed
• Connection to school-wide expectations
• Individualized, daily monitoring
![Page 12: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
BEP Set-up
• Teach students, teachers, & parents routines
• Establish school & home reinforcers
• Establish data collection system
• Conduct abbreviated FBAs
![Page 13: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BEP Daily Cycle
1. Check in office at arrival to school– reminder binder– precorrections– turn in previous days signed SM form– pick-up new SM form– review daily goals
![Page 14: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BEP Daily Cycle
2. At each class– student completes SM card– teacher checks & initials
3. Check out at end of day– review days points & goals– receive reinforcer if goal met– take successful day card home– precorrections
![Page 15: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BEP Daily Cycle
4. Give successful day card to parent(s)– receive reinforcer from parent– have parent sign card
5. Return signed card next day

Critical Features of BEP• Intervention is continuously available
• Rapid access to intervention (less than a week)
• Very low effort by teachers
• Positive System of Support– Students agree to participate
• Implemented by all staff/faculty in a school
• Flexible intervention based on assessment– Functional Assessment
• Adequate resources allocated (admin, team)– bi-weekly meeting, plus 10 hours a week
• Continuous monitoring for decision-making
![Page 25: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
BEP Readiness Checklist
(Crone, Horner, Hawken, 2004)• School-wide system of behavior support in place
• Staff buy-in for implementation of the BEP
• Administrative support– Time & money allocated
• No major changes in school climate– e.g. teacher strikes, administrative turnover, major changes
in funding
• BEP implementation a top priority
![Page 26: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Working with Schools Interested in Implementing the BEP
• Provide Overview of BEP to Behavior Team
• Provide Overview to all staff
– Faculty vote • 1-2 Professional development days for behavior team to
develop BEP to fit school culture
– See BEP Development & Implementation Guide (Hawken, 2004) for training content
• After BEP development, gather feedback from all staff on format/structure of BEP
• Ongoing coaching and feedback
![Page 27: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Who is the BEP Appropriate for?
APPROPRIATE– Low-level problem
behavior (not severe)– 3-7 referrals– Behavior occurs across
multiple locations– Examples
• talking out• minor disruption• work completion
INAPPROPRIATE– Serious or violent behaviors/
infractions
– Extreme chronic behavior (8-10+ referrals)
– Require more individualized support
• FBA-BIP • Wrap Around Services
![Page 28: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Which Schools Would Benefit From Implementing a BEP?
• How many students does your school have in the range of 3-7 referrals?
• If > 10 students- BEP may be appropriate
• If < 10 students- implement individualized interventions
• The BEP should be able to reasonably maintain 15-30 students/year
![Page 29: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Conduct Brief Functional Assessment
Is the behavior maintained by escape
from social interaction?
Is the behavior related to lack of academic skills?
Is the behavior maintained by peer
attention
Escape Motivated BEP
•Reduce adult interaction
•Use escape as a reinforcer
BEP + Academic Support
•Increase academic support
Peer Motivated BEP
•Allow student to earn reinforcers to share with peers
![Page 31: Strategies to Support Yellow-zone students](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815c13550346895dc9efb8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Big Ideas• Schools need different systems to deal with different levels of
problem behavior in schools.
• Targeted group interventions like the BEP are efficient systems for supporting students at-risk for more severe forms of problem behavior.
• Up to 30 students (depending on school size/resources) can be served using a targeted group intervention.
• Some students are going to need more intensive support than the BEP can provide.
