CEP Student Behavior & Classroom Management 5

Question 1

Which of the following is an example of a logical consequence?

Accepted Answer

A student who writes on a desk must stay after school and clean all desks

Answer

A logical consequence is directly related to the misbehavior — cleaning desks is logically connected to the act of writing on them.

Question 2

During a crisis situation, a paraprofessional should follow the school's crisis plan and:

Accepted Answer

Act within their defined role and defer to trained personnel for crisis intervention

Answer

Paraprofessionals must act within their defined role during a crisis and defer to trained staff, as unauthorized physical intervention can escalate danger.

Question 3

A student's behavior support plan indicates a specific reinforcement schedule. The paraprofessional should:

Accepted Answer

Follow the schedule consistently as written to maintain the plan's effectiveness

Answer

Consistency in following the prescribed reinforcement schedule is essential for the behavior plan to produce reliable and lasting results.

Question 4

Which of the following best defines 'behavioral momentum' as a classroom strategy?

Accepted Answer

Beginning with easy requests the student is likely to comply with before making harder demands

Answer

Behavioral momentum uses a series of high-probability requests to build compliance before introducing a low-probability (more difficult) request.

Question 5

A paraprofessional observes that a student's disruptive behavior consistently occurs right before math class. This pattern suggests the behavior may be:

Accepted Answer

Escape-motivated, with the student trying to avoid math

Answer

When behavior reliably precedes a specific subject, it often functions as escape or avoidance of that activity, which should be explored through a functional behavior assessment.
