    Issues

    		 Check your paper for punctuation errors:

     

    Unnecessary commas

    (Example: She went to the store, and bought milk.)

     

    Missing comma after introductory element

    (Example: According to Erikson a child needs trust.)

    		  
      Did you use punctuation to separate each of your complete thoughts or sentences? Read your sentences and look for missing punctuation like a comma or period.  
      Correct sentence structure (i.e. Each sentence must have a subject and a verb. Use the same verb tense. Use either present or past verb tense in your papers.)  
      Check for run-on sentences (i.e. Two or more complete clauses that could stand alone as a sentence).

     

    Example: The brain is a fascinating structure it is the largest and most complex organ in the human body and it can suffer brain damage.

    		  
      Check for sentence fragments (i.e. Part of a sentence that is presented as a complete sentence. Typically, fragments do not have a verb or subject.)

     

    Examples: Short-term memory duration 30 seconds.

    Long-term memory is held indefinitely. And holds informative information.

    		  
      Compound sentences (i.e. A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses. Use a comma before the conjunction to indicate a pause between the two thoughts.)

     

    Example: Short-term memory lasts for several seconds, and long-term memory is held indefinitely.

    		  
      Check for spelling errors (i.e. Check for commonly misspelled words: then, than, effect, affect, its, it’s, their, there, they’re, to, too, two. Remember that spell checkers do not identify many spelling errors.)  
      Check your paper for unnecessary capitalization (i.e. Do not capitalize theories, theoretical concepts/stages, terms, etc.).

     

    Example: Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage is his first stage.

    		  
      Check your paper for missing capitalization (i.e. capitalize proper nouns, the first words of sentences, and important words in titles. Common nouns are not capitalized.)

     

    Example for common noun: I ordered a new computer online.

     

    Example for a proper noun: I ordered a new laptop from Amazon.

    		  
      Check your paper for missing words and other grammatical errors.

     

    Suggestion: If you read your paper out loud to yourself or another person, you are more likely to notice omitted words as well as other grammatical errors.

    		  
      Did you find and FIX any areas that your Word Processor has underlined? These are usually an indication that there is an error.  

     

     

     

    Discussion Posts (Initial and Reply) Grading Rubric:  Students are required to complete an initial post to each Module’s Discussion Question as well as two replies to their peers’ posts.

     

    General Grading Rubric:

    Initial Post-  /15 points

    2 Reply Posts-  /8 points (4 points each)

    Spelling/Grammar /2 points (1 point initial/1 point replies)

    Total for each Module: /25 points

     

    Please see the course calendar for due dates.

     

    Note: Initial and Reply posts must be thoughtful and thought-provoking. A simple, “I agree or disagree” or “Yes or No” are not sufficient. When replying to another student’s post, please be respectful, ethical, and professional. Base your posts on both academic and anecdotal evidence. Written Assignment: Development Theories

     

    Initial post:  Respond to every issue raised by the Discussion Question.  A thoughtful and thought-provoking post will be at least one to two paragraphs in length, including academic and anecdotal evidence.

     

    Note For Reply Posts: Each reply needs to find common ground (agreement) as well as uncommon ground (disagreement) with your peer. In other words, identify 2-3 points with which you agree or disagree. Explain why you agree and/or disagree with each point. Doing so will expand your as well as your peer’s understanding of the issue. In addition, each reply needs to ask your peer one or more questions that expand their understanding of the issue.

    MODULE 2: BEHAVIOR PLAN PROJECT

     

    Requirements

    Completed
    Behavior Intervention Plan

     

    (NOTE: Make sure the behaviors you are addressing in this plan relate to both home and school settings. You can address how Brian can get feedback from the teacher and use that feedback to address home behaviors.)

    		 3 Targeted Behaviors (decreased):

    Each behavior needs to be stated in behaviorally-specific terms. For example, if you identify that Kaiden’s aggressive behavior needs to be decreased, you need to specify what aggressive behavior needs to be decreased. Is it hitting, yelling, or throwing objects?

    		  
      3 Punishments:

    Identify a positive or negative punishment that would decrease each of the 3 targeted behaviors. I would suggest using negative punishment (i.e. removing a certain favorite item like a cell phone or video time).

    		  
      3 Replacement Behaviors (increased):

    Each replacement behavior must be directly related to each targeted behavior. Each behavior needs to be stated in behaviorally-specific terms. For example, do not state “getting along with peers” or “being respectful.” For example, if you identify that Kaiden needs to be more respectful, you need to specify what respect looks like. Is it following instructions, making an apology, or following rules?

    		  
      3 Rewards:

    Identify a positive or negative reinforcer that would increase each of the 3 replacement behaviors. Make sure the reinforcers are related to each replacement behavior.

    		  
      Be sure to address Kaiden’s behaviors at school as well as those at home. For example, you could include a reinforcement scheme that is contingent on good or bad reports each day from Kaiden’s teacher.  
      Measurable Goals:

    Identify 3 behaviorally specific goals. How you will measure the child’s progress? How will the child know when he is making progress?

    		  
      Reinforcement Schedule(s):

    Identify two different reinforcement schedules that you will use to shape the desired behaviors and goals. These reinforcement schedules are located in your text (i.e. continuous, partial or intermittent, fixed-ratio, fixed-interval, variable-ratio, variable-interval, etc.).

    		  
    Behavior Chart(s) Choose one the charts or create your own chart.  
      Identify 5 replacement (desirable) behaviors that you want the child to learn. Make sure each behavior is stated in behaviorally-specific terms.  
      The 5 replacement behaviors must address both home and school behaviors that you want the child to learn.  
      Record each day that the child exhibits any of the desired behaviors. Mark one point for each.  
      State how many points the child needs to earn per week in order to receive a reward. From a developmental perspective, Kaiden is young and will require more frequent reinforcement.  
      Identify 3 different rewards the child can earn.  
    Observation Recording Form When you open this document, you will see a column named, “Consequence/Outcome.” There you will see the consequences of the child’s behavior. For each one, you will be required to substitute Ms. George’s reaction with ONE of the following:

    (1) A positive reinforcer that would shape a more desirable behavior;

    (2) A negative reinforcer that would shape a more desirable behavior; or,

    (3) A negative punishment that would decrease the targeted behavior.

    For example: Small group activity. Ms. George could tell the child that he could earn 10 minutes of video time if he reads. That is using positive reinforcement.
