Part 1: Student Information

Dominique is a kindergartener at Winfield Elementary. He is in a general education

classroom with one teacher. Dominique is reading on a level D reading level according to the

Fountas and Pinell kit. He has fallen behind socially because Dominique will scream, not listen,

and occasionally hit other students. He also runs around the room. Winfield Elementary is a

PBIS school which promotes positive behavior. All of the students are on a Monmouth chart

with 20 squares. If the student is being respectful, responsible, safe, prepared, and cooperative

they can earn a sticker or star on their chart. When the student fills in all 20 squares with either

20 stars or stickers, the student can cash in their square for extra computer time, lunch bunch

with a teacher, or a prize. When students are being disruptive or disrespectful, they do not earn a

square.

Definition of student behavior

Dominique will scream very loudly over others who are trying to speak. He will only

stop screaming when I tell him to. Dominique will not listen to directions and will avoid

getting started on his independent work. I have to tell him twice or multiple times to get

started on his assigned work. Dominique now likes to hit and touch other students in the class.

He will laugh when he hits them. Dominique will become very disruptive when he makes

noises and he can become very dangerous when he hits other students in the classroom. The

frequency of his behavior varies depending on what the class is working on and if Dominique
will like the assignment. He is a very smart boy but if his behavior continues, his academic will

suffer.

Part 2: Literature Review

1. Lee, P., & Bierman, K. (2015, July). Classroom and teacher support in kindergarten:

associations with the behavioral and academic adjustment of low income students.

Merrill Palmer Quarterly, 383 411.

This article focused on explaining how important the role and relationships are between

the teachers and the students. It is important that the teacher student relationship is established

early through emotional support. Children who are from poverty are more at risk with the school

adjustment difficulties at the transition into kindergarten. The study found that 40% of students

show delays in learning behaviors and emergent literacy skills and 20% of kindergarteners show

high levels of social difficulties and disruptive behavior problems.

2. Searle, A., Sawyer, M., Miller Lewis, L., & Baghurst, P. (2014). Prospective

associations between childrens preschool emotional and behavioral problems and

kindergarten classroom engagement, and the role of gender. The Elementary School

Journal, 381 405.

The article explains how boys showed higher levels of hyperactivity and inattention and

conduct problems with lower kindergarten engagement. The regression analyses revealed that

boys higher hyperactivity / inattention levels are the reason for their engagement disadvantage.

Kindergarteners emotional and behavioral problems are important to their engagement and

targets for early intervention.


3. Remschmidt, H. (2015). How can we prevent school avoidance and behavior problems in

preschool children? Deutsches International, 645 646.

The editorial accompanied an article about how kindergarteners were involved in

programs that promoted childrens understanding of social problem solving strategies. It leads to

improved prosocial behavior. The results from the article did not reduce school avoiding

behavior.

4. Inbar Furst, H., Gumpel, T. (2015). Factors affecting female teachers attitudes toward

help - seeking or help avoidance in coping with behavioral problems. Psychology in the

Schools, 906 922.

This article explains how student misbehavior is the cause of teacher burnout.

Problematic and challenging student behavioral problems include chattering, speaking without

permission, and getting up from their seats. The article explained how about a quarter of

teachers who report work related stress is due to the daily coping with behavioral problems in

the classroom. Many teachers leave the profession due to this stress.

5. Carr, A. & Marzouq, S. (2012). The 2 x 2 achievement goal framework in primary

school: do young children pursue mastery avoidance goals? The British Psychological

Society, 3 8.

The article focuses on a 2 x 2 achievement goal framework and how it works with

elementary age students. The achievement goal theory offers useful information for how

children is motivated in the academic setting. There is a difference of students who perform well

with the 2 x 2 achievement goal framework.


Part 3: Baseline Data Collection

Summary of data submitted

I am currently Dominiques reading, math, and science teacher. I also teach him Health

and the 2nd step curriculum. He is with me from 9:05 until 3:40. Dominique will go to specials

from 11:15 12:05 each day and then go to lunch from 12:30 1:00 every day. Dominique has

perfect attendance. He will occasionally be tardy but he will come to class around 20 to 30

minutes late. Dominique does eat breakfast in the mornings at school. He will buy lunch

everyday but will eat his snacks that he brings to school with him. On day 1, I observed

Dominique on the carpet time while I was reading the story for the comprehension portion of

Language Arts. He would scream and make loud noises while I was reading. When asked to

stop, he would but then when I would ask a question about the story and a student would answer,

Dominique would call out for no reason. He did listen when I asked him to go back to his seat.

During the center time of the Language Arts time, Dominique would not get started on his word

work or writing assignment for that center. He would instead play with the pencils and crayons

and lay on the table. When I asked him to move to a quiet spot in the classroom, he did but he

continued to try to talk to his classmates. After many warnings, he actually complete the

assignments. Dominique hit another student when he was about to get onto the computers for

the computer center time. The student was finishing up an activity on the computer and instead

of waiting, Dominique hit the student and then laughed. I asked him to move and then he

eventually apologized and wrote the student a letter after processing that hitting someone then

laughing about it was wrong.

On day 2, I wanted to know how Dominique would do after having a 2 hour delay. I

observed him in the whole group math instruction time and then the math workshop time. He
only screamed 2 times during the instruction time and after returning to his seat he remained

quiet. Dominique definitely enjoys math more than language arts because he only was playing

with the pencils before being asked to complete his work. He also did not touch a student

because his mother spoke to him the night before about keeping his hands to himself.

On day 3, I observed Dominique during the whole group writing workshop and him

completing his writing assignment. I also continued to observe him through the math whole

group instruction time and the beginning part of math workshops. During the writing whole

group instruction, he called out and would scream a lot. After asking him to go back to his seat,

he continued to scream and make noises while I was teaching or while a student was speaking.

Only when he went to the relax chair, he calmed down and started to listen to the instruction

being taught. Dominique enjoys writing. I only had to ask him 3 times to complete his work and

he did. When we transitioned to math, Dominique did not scream or make noises during the

whole group math instruction time. He did need reminders to get started on his work.

Dominique kept his hands to himself for both writing and math and did not touch a student.

In reviewing Dominiques records, Dominique was in a Child Care center for

prekindergarten. There are no records to discuss his behavior or how he did academically but I

do know that his mother is very involved in how Dominique is progressing. She will stop by the
classroom and always ask how Dominique is doing. His mother is very concerned about his

outbursts because she does worry it will eventually impact his school work. Dominique is

learning different strategies to help when he is angry.

Analysis of all information collected

The data collected over the course of three days shows that Dominiques behaviors

were more severe in not getting started on his work and screaming during the middle of

instruction. Dominique was very disruptive when he was sitting on the carpet during instruction

for language arts, math, and writing. He also had difficulty getting started on his assignments for

all subjects except math. Dominique enjoys math. I am continuing my observations of

Dominique and know I will have all my questions answered with more analysis of the

observations I see.

Part 4: Hypothesis of Functional Intention


Dominiques functional intention behind his behaviors are avoidance or not

receiving adults attention. He also has trouble with participating in activities and

completing his work. Dominique will also scream and become angry during instruction.

My observations have proved that this behavior is avoidance because when Dominique is

redirected by his peers, he will become even more upset with himself and others. When

Dominique is working independently, he struggles and will become very angry and will not

complete his work. If the work is too hard or if it is too much, he will walk around the room and

start to scream or when asked to go to the Relax Chair, he will sit in the rocking chair and bang it

against the wall. When the room is quiet, Dominique will start talking to his peers at his table

and will engage in conversations instead of completing his work. Some of his tablemates are

afraid if Dominique will hit them or hurt them with a chair. He hasnt yet.

Part 5: Replacement Behavior

1. One replacement behavior: What should the student be doing?


Dominique should remain seating during instruction on the carpet and during

center times. He should only get up if he needs supplies or when it is his turn to

rotate to the next center or workshop. Dominique will be redirected to his mammoth

square chart when he fails to demonstrate the replacement behaviors.


2. How will it be taught?
I intend to teach the replacement behavior by using his peers to model for him what

acceptable classroom behavior looks like. I will let Dominique hold a fidget friend, a

lego or little stuffed animal, in order for him to sit and listen to the instruction. When

Dominique is holding something, he will sit criss cross applesauce and almost take care

of what he is being held. I will also monitor how much work he completes

independently. When Dominique gets up from the carpet or gets out of his seat, I will ask
him what the appropriate way to ask to do that is. If he has not completed his

independent work, instead of moving to the next center, Dominique will finish his work

and then move onto the next center. I will continue to praise him for positive behavior

and will continue to add to his chart when he is completing his work, sitting on the

carpet, and sitting in his chair.


3. When will it be taught?
I will teach the replacement behaviors daily during the Language Arts center time,

Writing workshop time, and during Math workshop time. I will also share the chart

with his specials teachers and the guidance counselor to provide him with consistent

expectations throughout the building.

Part 6: Positive Behavior Supports

1. To motivate Dominique, I will continue to implement the mammoth charts and to give

Dominique stars and stickers when he is representing positive behavior. I will also

reward Dominique with lunch bunches throughout the week. As I write the behavior

updates to his parents, I will begin to include the daily percentage and increase the goal

as the school year progresses.


2. During the independent work times, I will get Dominique the option to complete his

work at a separate table where he can complete his work quietly and effectively. If

he completes his work, I will give him extra computer time. Dominique enjoys the

computer and really works toward time on the computer.


3. Dominique will also be given options in the order in which he wants to complete his

work. I will ask him what center or workshop he would like to go to first. Dominique

works really well when he is given the opportunity to go where he would like to go first.

Behavior Frequency Chart

Hitting Avoidance screaming


Over time, the hitting and the screaming decreased very slightly. The avoidance completely

work did not decrease over time. It is very inconsistent throughout ELA center time, word work,

and writing time.

Part 8: Data Summary and Interpretation

As I analyzed the data closely, I believe that the behavior supports I put into place have

helped David with some of his behaviors. The data shows that I did not observe more than eight

behaviors a day on any given behavior. I believe that implementing the mammoth charts and

giving him stickers really helped Dominique with keeping his hands to himself and also stopped

him from screaming during instruction (1). Dominique also enjoyed having the option of

moving to a quiet place in the classroom to complete his work (2). There were many times

where I had to redirect Dominique to move to a quiet place. At first, he did not want too but with

practice he was able to know himself when he needed another place in the classroom to work

independently. If there were times where Dominique could not focus on his work in the

classroom, he moved to another classroom where he would complete his work (3) and then come

back to the classroom. I believe with further practice, Dominique will not have to be asked to

move to a quiet place in the classroom to complete his work that he will go on his own.

Dominique was able to choose what center he wanted to complete first for his center work (4). I

asked him each day exactly which language arts center he wanted to go to first and each day was

something new. This allowed himself to decide what center he wanted to go first without me

having to tell him where to go. However, when he went to the center he would get upset with a

student or would have trouble completing his work. If Dominique had difficulty with deciding

between which center to start with, I would give him two options (5). I would ask him either the

word work center or the writing center. Throughout this entire process I gave Dominique
independence for his center work. With time and practice I believe he will know when to move

to another place in the classroom to complete his work and when to stop bothering his

classmates. He definitely has difficulty completing his language arts center work because he is

very eager in math to complete his work. He enjoys math more and will not avoid his activities.

Part 9: Reflection

As I reflect upon the interventions I put in place for Dominique, I was able to grow in a

variety of ways as a professional. I was able to grow in my knowledge and skills in classroom

management, as I was able to utilize a universal design for learning in my classroom.

Dominique could choose what center he wanted to go to first based on how he was behaving in

the morning during arrival and breakfast. It allowed himself more independence in the

classroom. I also grew in my classroom management skills because I could tell when

Dominique was getting frustrated in his independent work and his small group work. For

example, if Dominique came into the classroom and sat down in his chair and quietly ate his

breakfast, I knew he would complete his work with very few disruptions. If Dominique came in

very anxious and while eating breakfast would run around and bother his classmates, I could tell

he would have many outbursts and would not complete his work. In order to maintain and

generalize the behavior supports I have put in place I will be providing Dominique with one

on one time during breakfast and throughout the day when needed and when the time is

appropriate for him to verbalize why he is so upset and frustrated. When Dominique is able

to verbalize to me how he is feeling in a respectful way, then he is able to complete his work and

not have any built up anger inside of him. I have noticed that many of my students also would

like the one on one time where they can talk to me and I have had many lunch bunches where

conversations happen. If I were able to repeat the project I would attempt to observe
Dominique in different settings, such as Art class or Music class. I would also like to extend

my observations to five days then just three days. Overall I believe the project was successful

and it really helped me to extend my knowledge of behavior and classroom management in the

classroom.
