What Do I Put on Form F for Behavior?

a quick guide for teachers

In terms of behavior, the F Form is meant for you to document anything you have done
for a student above and beyond what you do for EVERY other student in your class.
Classroom behavior plans, clip charts, pulling cards, etc. would NOT go on the F Form for
any child as everyone in the class follows this same plan.
The following is a list of some responses (or interventions) to behavior concerns that you
SHOULD list on the F Form for individual students.

proximity
change seating/location
verbal reprimand
signal/gesture/look (pre-arranged)
model/teach expectation
teaching and practice of expected behavior
discussion with student
planned feedback
behavior monitor or feedback sheet
pre-correction
humor
planned ignoring (adults and peers)
parental contact
individual behavior plan
time out/separated from peers
loss of privileges

Best practice rules to follow with any response/intervention:

clearly define the behavior to modify (pick one at a time)

get a baseline of the targeted behavior PREVIOUS to the implementation of
response/intervention
4 -6 week implementation period before changing any intervention not always
reasonable or practical (the more intense the intervention, the longer the wait
period)
