1. Describe why it is important to pay attention to how your values and beliefs affect your behavior.
	example:
		Being conscious of your own belief system and how that belief system effects your interactions with others can influence the success of a preventative behavioral support plan. For instance, if you believe that there are no solutions to a particular situation, it is likely that no solutions will be found. However, if you believe that there are always solutions and that it is important to think creatively, you will be more likely to come across an important solution.

2. Describe the four major parts of a hypothesis statement and briefly define each term.
	example:
		Setting events - Environmental events and internal factors that increase the likelihood of problem behavior. Setting events change the way a student responds to an antecedent. Antecedents - The environmental events that immediately precede problem behaviors. Behavior - The third component of a hypothesis statement is a specific description of the problem behavior. Consequence - Responses that are presented contingently following problem behavior.

3. How are prompts different from correction procedures?
	example:
		When you correct a studentīs behavior, a mistake has already been made. Prompting strategies are used to increase correct responding prior to the student making an error. In order to assure that a student learns a task independently, prompts should be put in place with a clear plan for systematically fading them from use.

4. What does student academic success have to do with problem behavior?
	example:
		An important strategy for preventing problem behavior is to create a positive climate. The amount of academic success a student experiences contributes to the development of a positive climate. A studentīs success rate in initial practice sessions should be at least 70% and should increase to 90% or more during independent activities.

5. Why is it important to consider a studentīs social network when designing a positive behavioral support plan?
	example:
		Problem behavior is often dependent upon social interaction. A student will respond differently depending upon the actions and reactions of the individuals around her. Changing the environmental context and teaching new skills naturally places some of the responsibility for change upon individuals within the social network.
