Correctional Behavior Assessment

Improved Essays
Colarusso et al. (2013) stated that if behaviors become really bad during class time there are certain procedures and consequences that occur. Students who continually display disruptive behaviors on a daily basis should be considered for a functional behavior assessment (FBA) (Colarusso et al., 2013). An FBA is completed by a team composed of educators that have worked with and are familiar with the child. The FBA is enforced to collect data for a behavior intervention plan (BIP) (Colarusso et al., 2013). The BIP outlines the approaches that educators can use when working with the student to prevent undesirable behaviors (Colarusso et al., 2013). Principals and teachers are trying ways to be proactive when dealing with behavioral issues.

According to my FBA Teach checklist assessment, JOnah behavior seems to be exhibited in order to gain attention from other children especially…

    Review the principles of effective correctional intervention as defined by Gendreau on page 105 of your textbook (Alarid, 2015). As explained by Alarid (2015), these principles are the basis for evidence-based practices, which are those interventions utilized with criminal justice clients that have been found through empirical testing to be effective in reducing recidivism rates with those clients. Do some online research, and identify a local anger management, domestic violence, or substance abuse counseling program in your area. Explain how that program addresses principles one through seven, and identify the principles, if any, that are missing in the program of your choice. Make sure to include a reference to the website that you review…

    Introduction to Special Education Making a Difference Seventh Edition states, “In the PBS model, the primary prevention program involves establishing for all key areas. Expectations are clear, concise, and simple (e.g., follow directions, be responsible, be safe, be prepared), with detailed illustrations of how these behaviors look in different settings. Then, students are given opportunities to practice and receive reinforcement for meeting these expectations” (Lewis & Sugai, 1999; Sugai & Horner, 2002).

    I believe it is in the best interest for the department of corrections to seek a new oversight committee that will be dedicated in improving the following issues the department so desperately needs: group of supervisory board with real oversight powers, one that can inspect, unannounced, every corner and closet of the state’s prison system. One of the cons for improving the conditions for the Florida’s Department of Corrections will be finding the financial means in making a corrective effect in what has been an issue for many years. Also, if a new group is called, reforming the hiring process, training of current officers and evaluation of guards to be taken into consideration.…

    Disruptive Behavior Plan

    Behavioral contracts and plans act as guides for students who struggle with standards they must adhere to in the educational setting. Lack of such adherence leads to disruptive behavior and affects all learners, including “R,” my second grade student. Disruptive behavior has caused “R” to miss moments in class needed to improve learning, thus functions below grade level. Unsafe environments are created when “R” solves peer issues with physical contact instead of spoken words. Carter, Carter, Johnson, and Pool (2013) wrote as diverse populations increase in academic and behavioral needs providing such a safe environment becomes more difficult.…

    Topic Overview Mental health in the corrections system has been a persistent problem since the dawn of incarceration. For a long period, before we knew about mental health disorders, people suffering from these diseases often ended up in prisons. In the 1840’s, a woman named Dorothea Dix began to investigate the treatment of mentally ill in the prison system. She soon urged for the creation of institutions that would house and treat mentally ill, rather than condemn them to jail cells. Dix succeeded, and up until the 1950’s most mentally ill individuals were held in mental health institutions.…

    These interventions need to be specific for the behaviors of this particular student and must detail the behavior, the intervention and the assessment. Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) utilizes various techniques specifically identified for a student. FBA needs to be “integrated, as appropriate, throughout the process of developing, reviewing, and, if necessary, revising a student’s IEP” (Functional Behavioral Assessment, n.d.). As the FBA looks beyond the behavior it focuses on finding the significant environmental factors which have affect this specific student.…

Serious mental illnesses are clinical depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and borderline personality disorder. Inmates that are insane and do not know right from wrong and cannot understand what they have done and their punishment/ purpose of their punishment , are exempt from execution.

    During class on Wednesday, January 26, the students participated in a psychological game called prisoner’s dilemma. My group didn’t accumulate enough points throughout the game, so we were not able to receive full classwork credit. However the game and working in a group did share some of the same qualities, but are also different. Due to prisoner’s dilemma, I learned that when it comes to working in a group it takes communication, trust, and a sense of responsibility. Communication is key to the game and cooperation with others because it determines the course of the relationship.…

    The way our society is form, is for individuals to meet certain standards which are expected as being part of any society. For example, is expected from us to get educated, graduate and perhaps to get a job to self-sustain ourselves and our families. Since society is not "fair" to everyone and not everyone will conform to these standards, is expected there will be some individuals that will violate those values and norms that society have imply to us. According to Leon-Guerrero (2013) criminal behavior is usually perceived as a personal trouble, where there is a deviance from the normal expectation (p. 304). However, we can pretty much assume that someone that turns into criminal activity is because they are subject to personal failures in…

    Rachel, Ryan, and Ashley are three students who exhibit challenges with successfully interacting with others. It is no surprise that these students are disturbing others in class and are not responding well to verbal debriefs in time-outs, all the while continuing to be disruptive in class. Even though these three students exhibit struggles with positive interactions, the source of that behavior is different for each student. Since their behaviors all stem from different sources, I feel that individual interventions would be most beneficial for these students. Certainly, an alternate intervention would need to be issued if the student(s) refuse the assigned intervention or it is unsuccessful in adjusting the undesired student behaviors.…

The environment can have an influence on an individual’s decision as to whether to commit a crime by making it easy.

    I agree with your statement especially including about inmate's mental health. Mental conditions are often difficult to control without at least some form of intervention. When paired with violent aggression this could be not suitable for the offender to receive probation due to the danger he or she poses to the public. Probation should only be reserved for those who are the least likely to get involved into serious crimes and could be a potential hazard in dangerously harming others.…
