Question 1

What is the main purpose of a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for a student with persistent challenging behaviors?

Accepted Answer

To provide targeted strategies that teach and reinforce positive replacement behaviors

Answer

A BIP is designed to address the function of a problem behavior and systematically teach and reinforce appropriate replacement behaviors through individualized strategies.

Question 2

What is the purpose of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)?

Accepted Answer

To identify the underlying function or purpose of a student's problem behavior

Answer

An FBA uses data collection (antecedents, behaviors, consequences) to identify why a student engages in a problem behavior so interventions can target its function.

Question 3

A teacher notices that a student consistently misbehaves during independent work time. What should the teacher investigate FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Whether the student understands the assigned work

Answer

Misbehavior during independent work is often a signal that the task is too difficult, making academic understanding the first and most directly relevant factor to investigate.

Question 4

Which of the following BEST illustrates a logical consequence rather than a punitive consequence?

Accepted Answer

Requiring a student who drew on a desk to clean all desk surfaces in the classroom

Answer

A logical consequence is directly and logically related to the misbehavior — cleaning the desks connects the consequence meaningfully to the act of drawing on one.

Question 5

When creating classroom rules with students, which practice is MOST supported by research on effective classroom management?

Accepted Answer

Involving students in developing a small set of positively stated rules

Answer

Research consistently shows that involving students in rule creation and stating rules positively (what to do, not what not to do) increases student ownership and compliance.
