After reading the case study about a young boy named Marvin who consistently displays defiant and aggressive behaviors towards peers and adults, I have observed that the only thing predictable about his behaviors is that there occur on a daily basis. After reading the running records that were completed through observations that occurred three times daily for two days, I have come to the conclusion that his negative behaviors occurred during almost all times of the day, therefore making it hard to predict these aggressive behaviors.

BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT PLAN I would implement a behavior modification plan that tracks when Marvin puts his hands on another student, yells, destroys what other students are making, throws things and doesn’t follow the rules of Mrs. Alda’s classroom. My behavior modification plan would implement strategies that will reduce or eliminate Marvin’s negative behaviors. I would track these behaviors by using running and anecdotal records to determine his progress and whether the strategies I use are effective or not. The first part of my behavior modification plan will be to state clear rules and expectations at the beginning of every whole group activity since this is when Marvin has difficulties exhibiting self-control. I will have Marvin repeat some of the rules and expectations back to me. I will also ask other students to repeat some of the rules and expectations so I am not singling Marvin out in front of the entire class. I will also state that there are consequences for
