Description

Focus of the Final Paper
Review the Week 3 assignment, “Functional Behavioral Assessment Short Paper,” in which you outlined three challenging behaviors (and a possible function for each behavior) commonly observed in young children. Then, explore the purpose and process of behavior management in a paper in which you:

  • Describe the purpose of behavior management in early childhood education settings, including why it is important to think proactively. Integrate the specific challenging behaviors to be detailed in this paper.
  • Discuss three strategies teachers may use to determine the functions of challenging behaviors.
  • Design an individual support plan for each of the challenging behaviors which includes:
    • the possible functions of the behavior
    • specific positive behavior supports
    • replacement behaviors
  • Summarize the role of the teacher in designing and implementing a classroom behavior plan.

RUNNING HEAD: FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT Functional Behavioral Assessment April Martin ECE 201 Instructor: Amy Wood May 22, 2017 RUNNING HEAD: FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT Functional behavior assessment is a process which helps to determine the “why” behind a student’s behavior. It helps to understand why the children do what they do. It also helps to determine the reasons behind the students’ inappropriate behavior. By doing functional behavior assessment, teacher can help the student to come up with more socially suitable ways to meet their needs and teachers can create more effective and efficient intervention plans to stop students’ inappropriate behavior. Functional behavior assessment increases academic achievements and reduces teachers’ stress [Child Advocate (2013)]. Teachers can collect data in order to determine the functions of a behavior through the following two tools 1. The Function Matrix 2. ABC Analysis The Function Matrix is a two columns and three rows matrix, where the columns contain the two primary functions of behavior- access and avoidance, and the rows contain three areas which the students are trying to either access or avoid. These three areas are attention (from teachers, parents, etc.), tangibles or activities, and sensory (noise or physical contact). By using functions matrix, teachers can quickly and analytically determine the functions of behavior by observing what happens before and after that behavior. To determine what a student is sharing through his behavior, the teacher needs to observe the behavior of students over a time and to determine what the student is trying to access or what he is trying to avoid in the classroom i.e. what is Alexander is trying to access or avoid? ABC analysis is a useful tool to find out where the student’s behavior is functioning at the chart. In ABC analysis, “A” is the Antecedent, which refers to “what happens before the specific RUNNING HEAD: FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT behavior occur.” The “B” is the behavior and “C” is the consequence, which refers to “what happens after the specific behavior”. Through ABC analysis by looking and observing multiple instances, teachers can determine the reasons for inappropriate behavior through observing what happens before that behavior, what was the behavior, what happens after that behavior [The IRIS Center for Training Enhancements. (2009)]. Collecting and reviewing the data before implementing specific interventions to address challenging behavior, helps teachers • To better understand the students’ needs. • To equip the needs of the students with the tools that will best fit their needs. Three common behaviors a teacher may see in young children and target for modification or replacement are aggressive behavior, disruptive behavior and timid behavior. The most common behavioral problems of students include biting, bad temper, shouting, yelling, throwing objects, kicking, pushing, crying, snatching of things from others, spitting, and threatening. If the functional behavior assessment shows that the student is trying to access your attention, teachers can use the planned ignoring strategy. This means you must plan not to respond to the student’s challenging behavior, but instead provide attention when she’s behaving in an acceptable manner. This action shows the child that the challenging behavior will not serve the function or a need which he wants to meet. When a student show aggressive behavior that could be dangerous for other students, teachers or to school, provide some positive and meaningful reinforcement to them and help them to overcome it [Child Advocate (2013)].

Behavior Management in Children
Introduction
Behavior management is a term that refers to the psychological molding of children into a
desirable character. It is a less intensive way of therapy in children. The focus of managing the
behavior of children is to modify the behavior of a child. The skills of behavior management are
particularly useful in altering the probable conscious and unconscious attitudes of children before
they grow in a particular way. The result of behavioral management is to teach children
productive and socially acceptable norms of living.
Human beings are born without the concept of society. The proposition comes out in the simple
observation that a baby expresses no desires other than its own. However, when people grow up
from babies into toddlers then teenagers and finally adults, it is expected that the person will
behave in a particular way. That specific code of behavior is what integrates them into society. In
a nutshell, the set of ethics of a person determines how well they integrate with the society that
they live. The habits that most adults exhibit in adulthood were formed and cemented in their
childhood. Therefore, behavior management is a crucial element of the upbringing of any child.
The discussion in this paper aims to determine how the specifics of behavior management in
children have an impact on the children involved.

Early Childhood Behavior Learning Settings
One of the most valuable lessons that childhood behavior management strives to achieve is to
teach children to think proactively. Proactivity is the tendency to discern acceptable goals and to
work towards making them with minimal or absent intervention from adults. It is like teaching an
