Briefly describe the steps in implementing a self-management plan.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Correct Answer:
The first step in implementing a self-management plan is to identify the target behavior. Target behaviors are observable, measurable, and repeatable, and they are usually expressed in terms of action in a positive tone. Once the inappropriate behavior has been identified, the teacher needs to determine the criteria for mastery of the target behavior. The third step is to discuss the relevance of the appropriate behavior with the student. Once the student understands the difference between the inappropriate behavior and the target behavior, the teacher selects a self-management technique and explains the technique to the student. Then the teacher provides the student an opportunity to practice using the self-management worksheet. During guided practice, the teacher offers feedback and helps the student learn the self-management procedures. Finally, the self-management plan is implemented in "authentic" settings.
