What is a Behavior Intervention Plan?
The purpose of Behavior intervention plans (or BIPs) are to prevent a behavior(s) that gets in the way of learning. A BIP teaches and reinforces good behavior.
Who qualifies for a Behavior Intervention Plan?
Students who display behaviors that are consistently getting in the way of their learning or the learning of those around them may be referred to the Student Assistance Team for a possible BIP.
Students do not have to have a 504 or IEP to qualify for a Behavior Intervention Plan, however, for those who do have a 504 or IEP - the team may decide to add one.
The team may interview the student, the teacher, and other staff. They will also observe the student and talk to the family to figure out what’s happening. Testing might be used, too, as well as a review of past report cards or incidents.
Since behaviors may change over time, the team will review the BIP periodically.
