Social-Emotional: Aint’ Misbehavin’. You Gotta Own it Before You Can Change it:
MaryAnn Brittingham

Below are questions to guide you in developing a student’s behavior plan with the student.

BEFORE (Developing My Plan of Action)
Am I aware of when I am doing this behavior?
Am I willing to work on changing this behavior?
Why am I really choosing to do this behavior? What is it I really need? (Attention? Power? Improved skills?)
How can I get this need met in a more positive way?
Who do I trust enough to help me change this behavior?

DURING: (Maintaining/self-monitoring my plan of action)
Is my self-talk encouraging or discouraging?
Am I recording my behavior accurately and honestly?
Am I sticking to my part of the plan more often each day? Why or why not?
Am I asking for help when I need it?
Am I aware of my triggers?

AFTER: (Evaluating and adjusting my plan of action)
Was I able to increase the number of times I did the desired behavior?
What worked for me? How can I continue to do this?
How did I feel when the plan was working for me?
What part was difficult for me? What skills do I need to overcome this?
What “speed bumps” can I put in place so that I respond rather than react to my triggers?
Did I do better or worse than I had expected?
