6. Proactive Intervention Methods
1. Changing the pace of classroom activities.
2. Removing seductive objects.
3. Interest boosting of a student who shows signs of
off-task behavior.
4. Redirecting behavior of off-task students.
5. Nonpunitive time out.
6. Encouraging appropriate behavior.
7. Modeling and providing cues for appropriate
behavior.
Intervention is a bi-directional process, meaning the responsibility for appropriate behavior does not only fall on the students but teachers too.
Surface behaviors are generally normal developmental behaviors of children.
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.
