  1. Decreasing Undesirable Behaviors • Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible and Other Behaviors • Reinforcing a positive behavior that is incompatible with the negative behavior • Extinction • To extinguish a behavior, you stop reinforcing it • Removing Reinforcers • Removal punishment – taking away something from the student that is desired • Response cost – taking away a privilege or some other reward • Time-out • Presenting Negative Consequences • Presentation punishment – involves presenting negative consequences to students • Overcorrection • Physical punishment • The latter two strategies are considered punishment

  2. Behavior Contracts • An agreement between the teacher and student that clearly specifies the expectations for the student, the rewards for meeting those expectations, the consequences of not meeting them, and the timeframe for which the agreement is valid • How to write contracts: pages 472-474

  3. How Can You Help Students Manage Their Own Behavior? • Cognitive Behavior Management (CBM) • Students are taught to monitor their own behavior, make judgments about its appropriateness, and change as needed • Self-monitoring • Self-reinforcement • Teaching Cognitive Behavior Management Strategies • Discuss the strategy with the student and present a rationale for its use • Model for the student what you expect • Provide practice and feedback
