Mrs. Pierce's intervention for her student with behavior problems is not working effectively. What are some possible problems with her method that she should consider?
What will be an ideal response?
Mrs. Pierce should consider whether she has selected an appropriate reinforcement for her student, whether she is providing reinforcement too often or too little, and whether it is provided soon enough after the target behavior to be effective. She should also evaluate whether she is being consistent and if others, such as parents and other teachers, are cooperating as well. Lastly, Mrs. Pierce should consider whether her program is too complicated or if the social reinforcement her student receives from his peers for misbehaving is more effective than her own.
