Behavior Contingency Plan (BCP)
Title: The Perfect Recipe for Baking a Cake
Undesirable Behavior Targeted: Failing to follow instructions the first time they are
given. This interferes with learning in that too much of the teacher’s time is used on
following up on students that are either not listening or are not complying with
instructions, rather than on teaching, causing the undesirable behavior to take priority over
learning.
Desirable Behavior Targeted: Following instructions the first time they are given.
Students are expected to drop what they are doing, listen to the teacher’s instructions, and
follow them within 3 seconds.
Types of positive reinforcements:
1. Immediate R+: Cake ingredient stickers (symbols for flour, sugar, milk, oil, eggs,
baking powder, and vanilla extract) on a large Cake Board with every student’s
photo and name so their ingredients can accumulate next to their names.
2. Delayed R+: Adding cotton balls to the Cake Jar. There is no limit to how many
cotton balls one student can add.
3. Overall R+: The class will all work together to bake a yummy cake!
4. Explanation: Students who engage in the desired behavior targeted will be given
stickers symbolizing different cake ingredients to put on the Cake Board. Once a
student has accumulated all seven of the cake ingredient stickers, he or she is able to
add a cotton ball to the Cake Jar. Once the Cake Jar is filled up to the red line, the
class will earn an interactive Cake-‐Baking party!
Interactive Learning Activity: The teacher will guide the pre-‐school aged students in the
process of baking a cake by giving verbal instructions and modeling, as well as utilizing a
visual schedule so they can see pictures and numbers of the cake recipe. Each student with

take turns either measuring out the correct amount of certain ingredients, pouring certain
ingredients in the bowl, or mixing the ingredients together in the bowl. Then, we bake it, ice
it, and eat it!
Teaching the Desired Behaviors: The teacher will administer the immediate R+ each time
a student is observed to be following instructions the first time they are given. This will also
be coupled with praise from the teacher such as, “Great job Susie! You cleaned up the Home
Living Center as soon as I asked you to! Here is a sugar sticker to put on the Cake Board!”
Anytime a student is observed to not be following instructions the first time, the teacher
will still prompt the student to follow through, but will not administer the immediate R+
and will stay as non-‐verbal as possible, giving no eye contact.
Teaching the Plan: A bulletin board model will be posted on the wall by the Circle Time rug
as a visual aid. When it’s time for Circle Time in the morning, the teacher will go over the
problem behavior that is currently happening, and will then introduce the new expected
behavior, giving clear examples. The cake ingredient stickers will be explained, as well as
the cotton ball Cake Jar, and ultimately that their good behavior will be rewarded by a Cake-‐
Baking party! The teacher will then give students a lot of silly instructions (touch your nose,
stand up, sit down, etc.) as an exciting way to start reinforcing students and to get them
excited about the plan.
Proving Options: If wanting to implement this behavior plan for secondary level students,
it can be tweaked by adding more initial cake ingredients, making it more difficult to earn a
cotton ball, while still keeping the goal attainable. The interactive learning activity could
also be made a little more advanced by baking cupcakes instead of a cake, so everyone can
make and decorate their own!
