Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) - Behavior intervention plans are designed to reduce/prevent problem behaviors from happening while teaching the child another appropriate behavior to replace the problematic behavior.

Classroom Behavioral Expectations – A set of three to five behavioral expectations that are positively stated and easy to remember. Some possible examples include:

• Respect Yourself, Respect Others, and Respect Property
• Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful
• Respect Relationships and Respect Responsibilities

Consequence – What happens as a result of the child's behavior.

Defiant – Bold opposition. A marked resistance to authority.

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) - A method for finding out what is triggering problem behavior, and what the student is getting out of the behavior that makes him/her want to keep doing the behavior.

Grade Level Content Expectations – A set of learning expectations published by the Michigan Department of Education.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) – A proactive, team-based framework for creating and sustaining safe and effective schools.

Reinforcing – The act of acknowledgement and/or reward that is given after a desired behavior.

School Wide Behavior Expectations - The school focuses on three to five behavioral expectations that are positively stated and easy to remember. Some possible examples include:

• Respect Yourself, Respect Others, and Respect Property
• Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful
• Respect Relationships and Respect Responsibilities

The school many times will create a matrix of what the behavioral expectations look like, sound like, and feel like in all the non-classroom areas. This matrix will have approximately three positively stated examples for each area.
