Positive behavior support

The standard states: “The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.” To me, the classroom environment is one of the most important things that can impact the student’s ability to learn and allow them to feel comfortable within their own…

anger will provide Devon with the support he needs to develop healthy and effective anger management skills. Psychoeducation will train the parents to provide Devon with support and supervision that encourages and reinforces positive behaviors and to ignore and/or discourage negative behaviors, (Sadock et al., 2015).

proposed study is the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM). The TTM is one of the health behavior theories that focus on individuals (Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanatah, 2015). TTM uses stages of change to integrate processes and principles of change across major theories of intervention, hence the term transtheoretical. TTM is an integrative framework for understanding how individuals and populations progress toward adopting and maintaining health behavior change for optimal health. Core…

For week six, the activity was about confirming behavior, which is simply defined as the acceptance of a speaker’s identity and emotions as legitimate through the messages that are transacted.

Social Cognitive theory makes assumptions about learning and the performance of behaviors. These assumptions address the reciprocal interactions among persons, behaviors, and environment; enactive and vicarious learning; the distinction between learning and performance; and the role of self-regulation. Martins and Wilson (Martins & Wilson, 2012) foundational application of the social cognitive theory is represented in their application of modeling throughout their research of the relationship…

The success of CBT methods lies in its focus on self-guidance and strategic problem solving (Antshel, Faraone, & Gorson, 2012). In young children, this form of therapy is most successful when the parents are…

strategies for making changes for the behavior. The transtheoretical model (TTM), also known as Stages of Changes model, was developed by Procheska and DiClemente (Boston University School of Public Health, 2013). TTM proposes that people change overtime for their health behavior. There are six stages of change: precontemplation,…
