Behavioral Interventions
Remember: Many, if not most of these interventions can be adapted to any grade level and still be considered evidence- based!
|
| Aggressive Behaviors |
| Students hit, kick, push, pinch, bite, or threaten other students either when provoked or when angry or frustrated. |
|
| Behavior Problems |
| Any type of off task, negative or disruptive behavior that prevents teaching and/or learning from taking place. |
|
|
|
| Lying, Cheating, Sneaking |
| Students with externalizing behavioral disorders manifest these behaviors outwardly. Externalizing behaviors constitute an acting-out style that could be described as aggressive, impulsive, coercive, and noncompliant. Some examples of behaviors that students may exhibit can be lying, cheating, or sneaking. Cheating refers to the overt or covert breaking of rules or a code of conduct. Lying is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement with the intention of deceiving others. Sneaking is acting in a stealth or underhanded way. |
|
| Negative Attitude |
| Negative Attitude - result of lack of imagination. A negative attitude is characterized by a great disdain for everything. It can also be characterized as someone who constantly points out the negative in everything. A negative attitude is contagious and therefore avoiding people with one is the best way of prevention. Once you have a negative attitude, you will unlikely be able to recover and self fulfilling prophecy takes ahold. |
|
| Peer Rejection |
| Social rejection occurs when an individual is deliberately excluded from a social relationship or social interaction. |
|
| Stealing |
| To take and carry away something that belongs to another person without right and with the intention of keeping it. |
|
| Bullied By Peers |
| A student is a constant target for bullying (physical, verbal, emotional/relational, or cyberbullying). The student may be seen as weak, may be a loner, or may irritate other students with their behavior. |
|
| Complains About Being Sick or Hurt |
| Students with internalizing behavioral disorders may be experiencing problems because of having too little social interaction with others. One of the ways that this can manifest itself is through children frequently complaining of being sick or hurt. Since students who display internalizing behaviors may be less disturbing to teachers than antisocial students, these withdrawn students may be in danger of not being identified and helped. |

|
| Nervous or Fearful |
