Positive Behavior Analysis

Everyone that has been through adolescence knows that it can sometimes be difficult. Some people like authors, Daniel Siegel and Erin Ross, show that that can be true but they also explain how your brain works at that age and why. They thoroughly explain how the difficulties of adolescents and how teenagers grow and learn to be independent. In addition, authors, Gary Soto, Catherine Doty, Adam Bagdasrian, explain how wanting to have peer acceptance, risk taking behavior, and the desire to be independent, which are all parts of adolescents, explain this through extended metaphor and hyperbole in their stories. We all know that our social status plays a key part in young adult life.

Teenagers are often seen in society as careless and dangerous in the U.S. society. With many articles on adolescence, this thought stays true. Although, in a basic psychology book the author contradicts this thought. The author of a basic psychology book merely states that peers often coincide with parents on encouraging teens to do well. So, what’s the truth? The best way to answer this is to analyze articles that have strong support for their opinion on adolescence. An article by the name of “Why Teen-Agers Are the Worst” by Elizabeth Kolbert explores the possibilities on why teenagers may be dangerous. Kolbert’s thesis is “At moments of extreme exasperation, parents may think that there’s something wrong with their teen-agers’ brains. Which, according to recent books on adolescence,

Lizzie and her mother sated the positive behavior would be Lizzie listening the first time she is told to do something.

A prominent problem that I could see within our school is how undermined a student's opinion can be. My fellow classmates might agree that there are teachers who wouldn’t acknowledge a student's opinion. Now this is a trait that is contained by a select few. This inherent problem rears its ugly head when substitutes are put in place of a teacher, and these so- called substitutes will have a one track mind and discard any outside ideas. This glitch was apparent in a substitute of mine, all she seemed to do was tell you that you were wrong. The only moment that you became “right” is when you took a swing at trying to talk about something she enjoyed. For her though, her niche was cars and she happened to be quite fond. She wouldn’t forget that either and she would only then begin to listen to your side. Another problem that could be spotted by an average student walking through the halls would be the high use of drugs and alcohol. Drugs affect a large populous of students throughout the entire country and it's nothing new. Alcohol and drugs are complications that may be taking place outside of school, but it has begun seeping its way through the doors. Alcohol is the leading point of issue within schools around the

The comparison of Positive Behavior System and Applied Behavior Analyst have some professional questioning about the damage that PBS can create within the ABA discipline. Matt Tincani, (2007) seek to bring some understanding to the emerging disconnected in the article, “Moving Forward: Positive Behavior Support and Applied Behavior Analysis.” he submitted to The Behavior Analyst Today. The author, highlighted the varied disconnect and the impact that both discipline have on the field and also reference the opinion of others, such as (Johnson, Foxx, Jacobson, Green, & Mulick, (2006) stating that positive behavior support is harmful to applied behavior analysis. Some other researchers saw it differently, for example, (Carr & Sidner, (2002) stated that the

Jaime: How does Someone Become an Applied Behavior Analyst? Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a growing field that enables therapists and educators to help people with different behavior disorders and disabilities. Anyone who wants to become an Applied Behavior Analyst will need to earn a master’s degree and complete a supervised practicum. Before this even begins, the student will need to understand Applied Behavior Analysis and earn a bachelor’s degree in the right field. Understand Applied Behavioral Analysis Applied Behavioral Analysis refers to psychological principles and therapeutic tools that are used to increase behaviors, such as reinforcing on-task behaviors, and to teach new skills, which includes social, life and communication skills.

Positive behavioral interventions and supports, also known as PBIS, has gone through several developments over the years. According to Sugai and Simonsen (2012), in the 1980's it was decided that there was a need for a system that would better implement and document behavioral interventions for students who have a variety of behavioral disorders (BD). In the 1990's it was added to the reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Act.

The conference I attended was the Association of Positive Behavior Support (APBS) annual International Conference on Positive Behavior Support (PBS). APBS is an international organization that is focusing its research on positive behavior support. This association works with a variety of members from all different fields that are interested in PBS. Their mission is to reduce negative behavior by creating and devolving a system that supports and implements positive behavior.

If I as a HSP were working with clients diagnosed with HIV or AIDS, for the most part, I would proceed in similar ways. With both clients, I would suggest that the individual join a support group and I would help them deal with possible thoughts of suicide (Kanel, 2014). I would help both of them to seek out educational material pertaining to treatment options, lifestyle changes and success stories. I would help them to find a positive in this apparently negative situation, and help them to nurture that positive and integrate it into their life. All of this would help them to see that this diagnosis is not the end, just the beginning of a new chapter in their life. With the HIV positive client, I would spend extra time working with them to find educational material about their new condition. I would also discuss safe sexual practices, and the healthy lifestyle changes, to ensure that my client has the best chances of living a long and healthy life. With the Client

4. Why it is important to you to study this discipline in a school that emphasizes cultural awareness, competence, and understanding of diversity (see our Commitment to Diversity Statement).

That problem will be the lack of education. You simply cannot just ignore this issue that the pupils are facing. There has to be consequence put into place that deals with the missing fundamentals of education. Then the issue will be solved.

To create a sense of community the teacher needs to share their families, interests, and lives to their students. The students must feel comfortable enough to share the same thing within the classroom (Rosenberg, Westling, & McLeskey, 2011). Lastly, explicitly teaching the behaviors and routine to the students would allow them to have a clear expectation of what they should demonstrate daily. This is important because the explicit instruction can be effective to any student no matter their cultural

Today, a group of students asked me about words that mean different things in Puerto Rico and Mexico. It was a funny conversation. But the best that I got from the conversation is that they pay more attention when I started to discuss the topic of the day with them and clarifying their questions. “Most students respond positively and become more engaged and motivated to learn when the educator displays a strong interest in them. When a meaningful connection is built, a sense of reciprocal respect and responsibility not to let the other one down is born.” (Blankstein & Noguera, 2015, p. 167). Also, when I hear from my school leaders and administration staff that I am important to many students because students talked with them and how I have impacted them, I feel that every minute and hour preparing lesson plans and classes are worthy. “Over time, a degree of trust and understanding begins to develop between teacher and student as the relationship becomes rooted in confidence and a belief that the teacher has the best interest of the student in mind.” (Blankstein & Noguera,

The pressing issue is that the students are not behaving properly. They are not receptive to instruction and are not completing the work assigned to them. How about you establish some new expectations for them? Currently, they are not fond of you and are not doing what is required of them. I think it would be helpful
