Behavioral AssessmentType your name hereCapella UniversityInstructions: Just as Shindler (2010) recommends the importance of accountability and responsibility in learning, it is highly suggested that you complete all steps for your own growth and learning.· Apply directions that follow each heading below. Do not change or delete any of the headings. Refer to the assignment instructions to determine the content to place under each heading.· Have a peer provide feedback on your paper and complete the Peer-Feedback Form. You may ask a fellow learner or someone you work with to complete the form. Include the complete Peer-Feedback Form with this assignment.· Carefully complete self-assessment requirements by following the steps in the Process of Self-Assessment section. The idea behind the use of the Self-Assessment of Competencies rubric is to assist you in critically analyzing your work and identifying assignment criteria that align to overall competency outcomes. Criteria for steps 3 and 4 will be key to completing assignment expectations.· Delete these instructions and any references that do not apply to your assignment. Your assignment will be returned if the instructions are not deleted and/or references do not align with references in your assignment.Behavior Assessment· Provide a detailed overview of a student\'s current behavior that needs to be changed in order to improve the learning environment.The primary aspect of Paulo Miguel’s behavior that needs to be changed is his willingness to come to school. For the majority of the semester he has demonstrated a marked unwillingness to participate in the first grade classroom. During most of this semester his father has had to walk him into the class, because he refuses to come by himself. He will first cry and then yell at his father in order to dissuade the latter from making him come to school. This entire process is a huge distraction for the other children who willingly come to school to learn. Once Paulo actually comes in the classroom and his father leaves, he participates.

Still others take the opportunity to seize some of his lack of cooperation and balk at doing their tasks. I have spoken with Paolo’s father many times about his behavior and the distraction it presents for my classroom overall.· Identify the outcomes for the student\'s behavior change, including the rationale for the change, the behavior goal, and the replacement behavior. The most desirable outcome for the student’s behavior change is for him to willingly come into the classroom. I want him to walk in and take his place at his desk the same way all the other students do, so that he is not a distraction. The projected outcome is to have him more reserved and focused on understanding his lessons as soon as class begins, so he can help maximize the learning potential of all the students. Ultimately, the rationale for the change is that if Paolo demonstrates a willingness to participate in class without first attempting to not go to school, he will improve the overall atmosphere of the classroom.
He will make it much more attuned towards learning and exploration as opposed to rebelliousness and discord. The behavior goal is for Paolo to enter the classroom in an orderly fashion, much the way the other children do. The replacement behavior includes a friendly farewell to Paolo’s father, a prompt seat…
