Positive Behavior Management
With DTT, teachers select from 21 basic behavioral interventions developmentally matched to a student’s current level of functioning and IEP/ISFP/ITP goals. The result is a developmentally appropriate behavioral intervention plan (BIP). In DTT, a successful behavior management plan:
- Increases the student’s responsible behavior
- Fosters participation in learning
- Enhances teacher-student relationships
DTT intervention strategies are grouped into three categories:
- A strategies anticipate and avoid behavior problems
- B strategies keep behavior problems from increasing
- C strategies control highly disruptive behavior
A teacher’s role changes when selecting an emotionally and developmentally appropriate strategy for an individual student:
- For A strategies: cheerleader
- For B strategies: coach
- For C strategies: referee
Essential characteristics to convey when using any DTT strategy:
- Behavioral limits
- Clear expectations
- Consistent expectations
- Understanding
- Supportive relationships
- Positive emotional tone
- Role model of desired behaviors
- Role model of empathy
