  1. Behavioral Objectives Describes an anticipated behavior Determines a terminal behavior Three Components

  2. Describes an anticipated behavior • New or Modified From Current Behavior

  3. Describes a terminal behavior • What do you want the student to do? • After you’ve carried out the intervention • The behavior must be appropriate • at an independent level of functioning

  4. Three Components • Conditions • Behavior • Criteria

  5. Conditions • What are the circumstances in which the new behavior is to be observed • E.g., “Given teacher-requested homework assignments . . .”

  6. Behavior • Specify exactly (operationally) what the student is to do • E.g., “ . . . The student will write the assignment in is notebook, complete the assignment before the due date/time, and submit it to the teacher at the due date/time . . .”

  7. Criteria • At what level of proficiency is the behavior to be performed? • E.g., “. . . Independently nine of ten assignments in a two-week period.”

  8. Sample Objective • “Given teacher-requested homework assignments , the student will write the assignment in is notebook, complete the assignment before the due date/time, and submit it to the teacher at the due date/time independently nine of ten assignments in a two-week period.”

  9. Guidelines for behavioral objectives • Always write criteria to master the criteria specified. • Write the objective to produce an appropriate replacement behavior. • Include all three components of the objective.

  10. Non-examples • The student will remain on-task 95% of the time. • Given directions, the student will complete the assignment 95% of the time. • Given 5 spelling words on a timed test, the student will spell each word correctly with a grade of “C”.

  11. Correct Examples • Given in-class reading assignments, Geoffrey will read self-chosen text for 14 of 15 minutes consecutively [9 of 10 reading periods within 2 weeks] • Given timed daily spelling tests (30 seconds/word) of 5 words per test, Joy will spell each word correctly with 95% proficiency [over a 2 week period] • [] are optional
