Assessment Name #1 ABC Record
Definition of Assessment This is a type of anecdotal record that records a specific behavior or incident, Antecedents (what happened before), the Behavior, and the Consequences (what happened after).
Assessment’s Purpose or Rationale The purpose of this is to keep a record of specific behaviors over time to determine if there is a pattern of the behavior, provides a way to analyze the behavior, and how effective the consequences are at helping the behavior. However they can be used to record social behavioral improvements and positive behaviors. This can be used on individuals or the class as a whole.
An Example of When to Use Assessment I would use this to help track disruptive behavior in the classroom, specifically during circle time or while students are on the playground. I would use this on a specific student to track a particular behavior, either positive or negative, so that I can determine how to best approach helping students with the undesirable behavior and promoting positive behaviors.
A Positive Characteristic of the Assessment It will keep a great record of what happens before a behavior to cause it, what the behavior was, and if the consequences are effective when addressing negative behaviors.
A Negative Characteristic of the Assessment The action of recording in the moment might be hard to do while always being on the go with a preschool classroom.
Used as Summative/Formative (Explain) This is a formative assessment as it
Recent research has examined the circumstances under which the usually positive big five trait of conscientiousness has led to higher levels of distress in individuals. Although these effects have been evident in severe forms of failure such as unemployment, this area of personality has yet to be sufficiently explored. The idea of whether the conscientiousness trait is also of hindrance in lower levels of failure is of interest. It is hypothesised that conscientious individuals will have a greater negative affect after a non-severe failure-task than those who are less conscientious. Data is collected qualitatively through self-report questionnaires, measuring conscientiousness with items based on the Behavioural Indicators of
Are you the type of person who wants to be able to go to work everyday doing something you love, helping others who need it, and getting a smile on your face just by the smallest of things that someone does? That is the type of person I am, which is why I chose the career path of a Behavior Specialist. A Behavior Specialist is someone who works with a person who may have a disability, and they study and work with them to make things as easy as possible for their daily life. They focus on the perception of life, however sometimes hesitate to present the strong conclusions how behaviors cause certain emotion (Thompson). A Behavior Specialist is also known as a Social Psychologist, because they study how a person’s mental life and behavior are shaped by interactions with other people (“Pardon Our Interruption”). The four main behaviors that Behavior Specialists look for when studying the actions of a person are, “Self-awareness, emotion, motivation, and feelings” (“Modeling the Early Human Mind”). Although I believe being a Behavior Specialist is a dream job, there are always issues that go along with any job, in this case emotions play a role in the occupation working with people who need extra help.
Listen to the child and make a record of any key information with names, dates and times.
In this class we’ve learned that both Behavior Theory and Cognitive Behavior Theory both help explain human behavior through an A-B-C model or method. What are the A-B-Cs of Cognitive Behavior Theory?
I will use this in a group setting to better understand the children and help them become better learners.
Helping students reflect on their actions versus just looking at the behavior helps restore relationships and help undesired behaviors diminish.
One of the most crucial parts of successfully managing a classroom does not only have to do with providing a child with a great education, but also having the ability to successfully manage behavior in order to have a strongest learning environment possible. There are two important questions a teacher needs to try to answer when collecting data on a behavior. The first is "does the target behavior happen frequently enough to warrant a formal intervention program?" (Lee, 2011) , as well as "Has the intervention changed the target behavior to a more acceptable level?" (Lee, 2011). These questions can be answered by knowing how to successfully track and monitor behavior with the use of tracking behavior through data summarizing sheets and graphs,
This allows students the ability to identify with themselves and be introduced to new methods, in order to create a safe and positive learning environment.
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
QP encouraged William in participating in a CBT activity geared towards “Keeping track of how you are changing”.

Take a cursory glance in almost any elementary school classroom and you are bound to find some version of the color coded behavior chart. Whether it be a stop light with clothespins, a colored card bulletin board, or any other variation; this method of classroom behavior management is exceedingly popular in the education world. While the behavior chart itself has many variations, the rules are generally the same. Every day, each child begins on a “good” color (usually green) and, according to their instructor’s interpretation of their behavior throughout the day, they either move up or down the chart to other colors. Each color is assigned a level of “good” or “bad” and they may or may not have some consequence attached to them. A popular variation
Behavior modification. The first step to behavior modification is to assess and observe behavior in order to collect data . The purpose of this assessment is to determine the baseline, or frequency, of the problem behavior. Determining a baseline will allow the teacher to make comparisons to the post-intervention evaluation. The observational assessment must consider the environmental causes of the behavior ( ). According to behaviorists, almost all behavior can be broken down into the ABC components, where A is the antecedent, B is the behavior, and C is the consequence of the behavior ( ). The antecedent occurs before the behavior while the consequence occurs after. This enables teachers to see what is happening in
Today's session went well. Ja'Dyn and the counselor assessed his concerns regarding school and evaluated what causes him to engage in some many negative behaviors. Ja'Dyn expressed his concerns and was very engaged in the conversations. The counselor and Ja'Dyn discussed his behavioral plan for school regarding what he's allowed to do when he gets upset. Ja'Dyn expressed he's allowed to walk the halls until he's calm enough to return to class. The counselor assumes this means Ja'Dyn has a 504 in place at school but will verify with mom if Ja'Dyn does have a 504 and IEP.
After taking the behavior test, I discovered that my personality type is a mixture of A and B. On the stress forecast I am listed as weather variable.This means that every day is not sunny for me but I can manage most of my stressful situations. There are good days but I also have as many bad days.I tend to become angry with people when they do not move fast enough for me. It is also hard for me to relax without feeling a need to start a task. I feel that I am wasting valuable time if I just sit around and do nothing. I like to set goals and achieve them by a certain time whereas if the goals are not completed by the deadline then I am under much stress.
