Understanding School Discipline Laws: Behavior Intervention Plans
Question:
What is a behavior intervention plan?
Answer:
According to Maryland school law, a behavior intervention plan is a proactive plan designed to address problem behavior exhibited by a student in the educational setting through the use of positive behavioral interventions, strategies, and supports. It is developed as a result of a functional behavioral assessment and is consistently applied by trained staff to reduce or eliminate a student’s challenging behaviors and to support the development of appropriate behaviors and responses.
