Behavior Plan Analysis After talking to my Cooperating Teacher, we decided that I would do my behavior plan on Taylor. I first want to point out that Taylor is not a “bad” child by any means, nor do I feel that her behavior is really that bad. With that said, she is the only student in the classroom that provides constant disruptions and that is why she was chosen for this assignment. Taylor is a six year old first grade girl. My observations of her took place on Monday, November 2, 2015; Wednesday, November 4, 2015; and Thursday, November 5, 2015. These observations occurred throughout the day and during both small groups as well as when the whole class was present.

My behavior management plan will be a day-to-day behavior chart in all given areas during the day. I feel that if I did this plan week-to-week, I would be setting Taylor up for failure and cause her frustration because the goals would not be attainable. I also feel that if I did a day-to-day chart, Taylor will be more motivated to do good because at the end of each day that she has meets her goal, she will be able to get her “reward” for her good behavior that
