For this assignment, you will use your knowledge of organizational behavior management-based principles of performance management, supervision, teamwork, and communication to develop a comprehensive 12- to 16-page Performance Management Plan Portfolio to enhance staff/trainee improvement in a given environment.
You are an ABA team of professionals working within a system that requires assessment and training to maximize the performance of the staff or stakeholders within that system.
When working within a system, especially in an educational setting, the effectiveness of staff performance and student outcomes is often dependent on the proper assessment and training of those involved (McLeskey & Waldron, 2011) . This becomes particularly critical when managing students with complex behavioral needs. One such student, Edgardo, a fifth-grader in an inclusive classroom, faces significant challenges due to his diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder (ODD). His disruptive behaviors, including noncompliance and physical disruptions like swiping materials and moving furniture, hinder not only his academic progress but also the classroom environment as a whole (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Despite having a support team that includes a regular education teacher, a special education teacher, and paraprofessionals, Edgardo’s team has limited experience with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which could be pivotal in addressing his behavioral challenges. In this case study, the ABA team has the opportunity to assess the needs of Edgardo’s classroom and provide training that could empower staff to implement effective interventions. The district is considering a more restrictive classroom environment, therefore, this case presents an important opportunity to intervene and explore how strategic ABA methods can improve Edgardo’s behavior and support the classroom as a whole.
5. Assessment
a. Place Completed Assessments in Appendix (Must use tools you create or that are
available to use!)
b. In text, explain factors that informed your analysis and summarize the
hypothetical results.
The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the current competency of staff (teachers, paraprofessionals) in implementing ABA-based interventions, including data collection, reinforcement strategies, and behavior management techniques. The ultimate goal is to improve staff performance to better support Edgardo’s behavioral and communication needs, ensuring effective implementation of ABA strategies that lead to positive student outcomes.
The assessment will focus on:
Evaluating staff skills using functional communication tools, reinforcement systems, and behavior management techniques.
Identifying areas where additional training or support is needed.
Ensuring consistent and effective implementation of interventions to reduce disruptive behaviors and increase Edgardo’s communication and task completion.
