1. Why is a special education teacher a good resource to help deal with student behavior problems?
A special education teacher is a good resource to use when trying to figure out a student’s behaviors problem because they may have been in a similar situation to what the student behavior is like. They can suggest different strategies that would be beneficial to better the classroom experience for the teacher and student. Also, a special education teacher can be a good resource because they have most likely received training in specialized behavioral interventions and can recommend a unique plan for the student that will work for them.

This type of procedures goal is to reduce the rate of a behavior and for the student to engage in the target behavior less often. One example that the module gave in the differential reinforcement chart for DRL is a student is rewarded for limiting the number of questions she asks during reading to 3 (versus 8 at a time). This example is a positive behavior but is occurring more often than usual so by conditioning this behavior, the student will become accustomed to asking fewer questions as time goes on. This can be reinforced by a smile, head nod, or verbal praise to let the student know that they have fulfilled their goal. …show more content…
Therefore, the teacher must keep in mind the negative behavior that cannot occur the same time as the positive behavior. One example of finding the incompatibility of behavior is sitting at the desk vs. wandering in the classroom. When the student is reinforced of the positive behavior they are supposed to be doing at the given time, they will have a positive behavior to act upon replacing the negative behavior. It is also important to know the student and take notes of the types of reinforcement inadvertently received when ding the problem behavior. Hence, it is like trial and error to figuring out what kind of reinforcement would work best for the student to achieve the desired
