1. Miranda, a fourth grade student, has been sleeping during morning activities. Mirandaīs teacher wondered whether there might be a setting event increasing the likelihood that Miranda would fall asleep in class. After discussing the situation with her, the teacher discovered that Miranda often missed breakfast on the days when she fell asleep during morning activities. How would the identification of this setting event help Miranda and her teacher come up with a solution? What type of intervention could be used to minimize or eliminate the setting event?
	example:
		Identifying the setting event affecting Mirandaīs behavior enabled her teacher to develop strategies that decrease the probability Miranda will fall asleep during class. Mirandaīs teacher may be able to eliminate this setting event by checking in with Miranda in the mornings to see if she has had breakfast and providing her with a snack from the cafeteria before morning activities begin.

2. Mr. Deshaun, a high school literature teacher, was frequently frustrated with his first-hour class and realized he was less tolerant of the studentīs disruptive behaviors compared to the classes he taught later in the day. Mr. Deshaun suspected there must be a setting event occurring in his life that was contributing to his high frustration with his first-hour students. After discussing the issue with his wife that night, Mr. Deshaun realized that he was always running late for his first-hour class because he had to drop his daughter off at school, and often had to start teaching without having time to prepare in the morning. How does this setting event relate to Mr. Deshaunīs behavior? What type of setting event interventions could Mr. Deshaun use to decrease the probability that he will be less tolerant of his first-hour studentsī behaviors?
	example:
		Sometimes our perception of student behavior is affected by setting events in our own lives. The first-hour studentīs disruptive behaviors are more aversive to Mr. Deshaun when he has to rush into class and does not have enough preparation time. A setting event intervention for Mr. Deshaun could include spending time at the end of the school day to prepare everything he needs for his first-hour class. Mr. Deshaun might set up an independent activity that the students could work on during the first 15 minutes of class, giving him a little more time to prepare for instructional activities. Finally, it may be possible for Mr. Deshaun to change his morning schedule so that his daughter is dropped off at school a little earlier.
