Scene 3 (24s)

[Audio] The BIP also ensures that everyone interacting with the student remains on the same page. About the agreed to behavior intervention strategies..

Scene 9 (1m 48s)

Scene 18 (4m 14s)

Scene 19 (4m 32s)

Scene 33 (8m 23s)

[Audio] *It is very important that the team. Especially all of the student's teachers. Come to a consensus about the functions of each of the behaviors. In order for a plan to have the best chances of being effective, their has to be "buy-in" from "all" of the student's teachers..

Scene 34 (8m 39s)

[Audio] Also. Some targeted behaviors may be completely unrelated to other behaviors. Different situations can trigger different behaviors..

Scene 35 (8m 51s)

[Audio] Lastly. *The team should determine how often each targeted behavior occurs in a weeks time? The team should utilize all available anecdotal and statistical data. This data will serve as "baseline data" to measure progress made by the plan..
