TOTAL POINTS
Why does BEP work?• Improved structure
• Prompts are provided throughout the day for correct behavior.
• System for linking student with at least one positive adult.
• Student chooses to participate.
• Student is “set up for success”• First contact each morning is positive.
• “Blow-out” days are pre-empted.
• First contact each class period (or activity period) is positive, and sets up successful behavioral momentum.
• Increase in contingent feedback• Feedback occurs more often.
• Feedback is tied to student behavior.
• Inappropriate behavior is less likely to be ignored or rewarded.
Why does BEP Work?• Program can be applied in all school locations
• Classroom, playground, cafeteria (anywhere there is a supervisor)
• Elevated reward for appropriate behavior• Adult and peer attention delivered each target period• Adult attention (and tangible) delivered at end of day
• Linking behavior support and academic support• For academic-based, escape-maintained problem behavior
incorporate academic support
• Linking school and home support• Provide format for positive student/parent contact
• Program is organized to morph into a self-management system
• Increased options for making choices• Increased ability to self-monitor performance/progress
Logistics for Setting up a BEP program
• Faculty and staff commitment• Is problem behavior a major concern?• Are staff willing to commit 5 min per day?• Is BEP a reasonable option for us?
– More than 5 students need extra support– BEP is designed to work with 10-12% of kids in a school– BEP typically “works” with 67% of students.– BEP does NOT replace need for individualized supports.
• Team available • Team leader• BEP coordinator (morning, afternoon)• Team (meets at least once every two weeks)
Logistics for Setting up a BEP program
• School-wide PBS in place• School-wide expectations defined and taught• Reward system operating• Clear and consistent consequences for problem
behavior
• Process for identifying a student who may be appropriate for BEP
• Student is not responding to SWPBS expectations– Request for Assistance
• Student finds adult attention rewarding• Student is NOT in crisis.
Logistics for Setting up a BEP program
• Daily BEP progress report card• Same expectations for all• Common schedule• All staff taught rules for accepting, completing and
returning the card.
• Home report process• Can be same as progress card• Can be a unique reporting form
