Editor's Notes
- #3: Intervention is a bi-directional process, meaning the responsibility for appropriate behavior does not only fall on the students but teachers too.
- #5: Surface behaviors are generally normal developmental behaviors of children.
- #8: Planned ignoring - If you ignore a behavior it will lesson and eventually disappear. Signal Interference - Communicates to the student that behavior is not appropriate without disturbing others. Proximity Interference - Any movement toward the disruptive student. Touch Interference - Teacher takes a child’s hand and escorts them back to their seat.
