Behavior Contracting is an excellent strategy used by teachers for reducing an individual student's disruptive behavior. A behavioral contract is a written contract that specifies a student's behavioral obligations. The contract also details the expectations of the teacher in carrying out the intervention plan. Because the student is an active participant in developing the contract, the student is more likely to be motivated to abide by the terms of the contract. During this video, Dr. Tim Knoster of Bloomsburg University will discuss the components of a behavioral contract and demonstrate how to write a contract with a student.
Handouts for Dr. Knoster's session can be found on the PaTTAN website at: http://www.pattan.net/resources/request.aspx?UniqueID=05148
Please note that the video is in two parts. Part 1 represents the first 1/2 hour of the presentation and part 2 the last.
Additional information on behavioral contracting will be in our next post!
