BIP Evaluation
Rubric
BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTION PLAN SELF ASSESSMENT
Rate the Behavioral Intervention Plan for the essential components using:

0=Not Met (component not evident)

.5=Partially Met (at least half of the component evident)

1= Met (ALL of component evident)
General Standards for Completing BIP Components:
Behavioral Intervention Plan (BIP)
 Environment
Instruction & Curriculum
Positive supports
 Motivators and Rewards
Summary of Previous Interventions Attempted– Describe any environmental changes
made, evaluations conducted, instructional strategy or curriculum changes made or
replacement behaviors taught.
 A list of previous interventions that includes the first and last documented
intervention dates (e.g., a sticker chart, log), the person(s) who implemented the
intervention, and data on the effectiveness of the intervention.
 The only interventions listed are those that have been used to address the target
behaviors.
 The intervention list includes specific descriptions of actions taken with the student
(e.g., role plays of hand raising, discussions of how to refuse something) in addition
to broad service labels (e.g., social work, counseling, problem solving).
Replacement Behaviors – Describe which new behaviors or skills will be taught to meet the
identified function of the target behavior (e.g. raise hand instead of calling out). Include
description of how these behaviors/skills will be taught.
 At least one clear replacement behavior is listed using understandable
terminology.
 Produce the SAME Function/Outcome as problem behavior
 Are socially appropriate within the context
 Are as (or more) efficient than problem behavior
 A step-by-step task analysis to teach each replacement behavior is included (i.e.,
who, what, when, where, how long, for different situations and settings).
Environment – How can the environment or circumstances that trigger the target behavior
be adjusted?
 A description of the practices that were identified as reinforcing or contributing to the
target behavior (e.g., management practices, academic materials, teacher approach
of the student, etc.) is included.
 At least one strategy is identified to minimize the likelihood that the problem behavior
will be reinforced.
 At least one strategy is identified to reinforce the use of the replacement behavior.
 The strategies are linked to FBA data.
 Recommendations for classroom set-up, staff behavior change, and/or different
materials are included.
 Describe any necessary teacher training and support to implement these strategies.
Instruction and/or Curriculum – What changes in instructional strategies or curriculum
would be helpful?
 Statements are included about 1) how the student is currently included and involved
in instruction, 2) how accurate the student is performing on materials, and 3) how
independent the student is with the current materials.
 Statements describing tactics to increase student involvement in lessons, increase
student accuracy on assigned materials (e.g., preview, differentiation), and increased
assistance or feedback for engagement are included.
Positive Supports – Describe all additional services or supports needed to address the
student’s identified needs that contribute to the target behavior.
 If academic skills have been determined to contribute to the occurrence of the target
behavior, a differentiation plan is included that describes how the format and
presentation materials will be changed.
 If social skills are determined to contribute to the occurrence of the target behavior, a
description of how and where these skills will be taught (i.e., a lesson outline) is
included.

Details
Specifying the Implementation of BIP
• In only 37% of FBA/BIPs reviewed, the BIP was
specific, rather than a general list of options.
• That is, it included specific descriptions of how
to respond to misbehavior. E.g., “When the
student does_____, adults do _______.”
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 1
Van Acker, R. & Boreson, L.
Specifying BIP Example
• When Bobby fails to comply with a teacher
request within 20 seconds,
– (1) repeat the request;
– (2a) if he fails to comply and the task requires overt
motor action on his part, he is guided through the
requested action. This should be done calmly and
without speaking or otherwise attending to Bobby.
He then gets a mild reinforcer from the teacher.
When Bobby complies within 20 seconds, he gets
enthusiastic praise from the teacher.

GOAL SETTING AND
PROGRESS MONITORING
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
UP or Down?
• Increase a behavior?
• Decrease a behavior?
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Fundamental Rule
“You should not propose to reduce a
problem behavior without also
identifying alternative, desired
behaviors person should perform
instead of problem behavior” (O’Neill et
al., 1997, p. 71).
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Writing OBSERVABLE and
MEASUREABLE Goals
• Specify timeframe
• Specify desired behavior
• Specify measurement condition
• Specify criterion for success
• Check: Can you graph this goal?
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Setting a Goal
• Define Success!
– Context specific
– Zero occurrences of behavior is unrealistic
• What features of misbehavior do you want to
change? Consider:
– Frequency of behavior
– Duration of behavior
– Context in which behavior occurs
• How much does the behavior need to decrease to
be acceptable?
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Example: Kathy IEP Goal
• By May 2015, when presented with
independent math work, Kathy will complete
the work (independently or with an adult or
peer) without destroying materials, drawing
on materials, placing head on table or
engaging in off-topic conversations in 80% of
opportunities.
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Using Data to Write a Goal
• Student: Joe, 5th grader
• Target Behavior: Tantrums – loud outbursts (above
conversational level) screaming or yelling, lasting more
than 3 seconds, that may or may not be paired with
crying and throwing materials.
• Hypothesis of Function: When given an independent
work tasks (worksheet, silent reading, workbook etc)
Joe exhibits tantrum behavior in order to escape the
work requirement.
• Replacement Behavior: request a break from
independent work tasks
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Plan to Monitor Progress
and Evaluate BIP
• In only 33% of FBA/BIPs reviewed, there was a plan to
monitor and evaluate the BIP.
• If the target behavior has not been clearly and
operationally defined, it will be difficult to design a
plan to monitor progress.
• Many of the FBAs reviewed stated that “data will be
collected”, but there were no specifics on who would
collect what data when.
• Some plans focused on “weekly communication” with
parents, but did not specify how that would happen,
what would be reported, and who would collect the
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4

data.
Use BIP Rubric Data Collection Procedures
& Methods Section To Evaluate:
1. Student will carry a daily point sheet and
updated each trimester.
2. When student is given an individual direction,
he will comply within 2 mins by staying in his
work areas, and initiating the task for 95% of
his instructional time.
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 3
Data Collection Procedures and
Methods
• Describe expected outcomes of the
interventions;
• How data will be collected and measured;
and
• Timelines for and criteria to determine
success or lack of success of the
interventions.
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Example

Data Collection Procedures and Methods
• By May, when presented with independent math
work, Kathy will complete the work
(independently or with an adult or peer) without
destroying materials, drawing on materials,
placing head on table or engaging in off-topic
conversations in 80% of opportunities. Data will
be collected through daily point sheets by the
classroom teacher or teaching assistant. Data
will be reviewed daily within the first two weeks
of implementation and every 6 weeks during
classroom team meetings. Changes to BIP will
occur as needed and based on data progress.
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Updating BIPs
WHEN SHOULD WE?
• the team changes
something that alters the
student’s educational
program
WHEN DO WE HAVE TO?
• at least yearly and/or if
disciplinary action is
expected/occurring
• the DATA tells you!
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Guidelines in Scheduling
a Review of BIP
• Take Off: More frequently in
beginning (2-3 weeks)
– New implementer
– New environment (e.g., classroom)
– New behavior
• In Flight: Every 4-6 weeks once a
plan is being implemented
• Landing: Every 4-6 weeks for a
couple of rounds, then increase to
2-4 months (3-4 per year).
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Team Time
Discuss and plan according to your case example:
• What is your goal? Consider long and shortterm goals.
• Define your progress monitoring logistics for
mentoring the goal.
• What are your decision making guidelines for
change?
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
COMMUNICATION WITH
PARENTS OR CAREGIVERS
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Provisions For Coordination with
Caregivers
• A communication plan is included that
describes when (e.g., the approximate points
in the year; how often) the parents will be
updated on student progress and with what
communication method (e.g., email, phone).
• The communication must reflect a behavioral
(IEP) goal that focuses on the replacement
behaviors.
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Kathy: Coordination with Caregivers
• A daily communication notebook will be sent home to
increase communication between home and school
and for parents to share information regarding Kathy's
sleeping habits. The notebook will be checked by
Kathy's homeroom teacher in the morning. Kathy's
daily point sheet will also be sent home in the
communication notebook by Kathy's homeroom
teacher at the end of the day. Parents will be sent
updated behavior graphs every two months, displaying
information related to Kathy's independent work and
appropriate behavior (IEP goal) as well as progress
reports when report cards are sent home.

Data Based Decision Making
Guidelines…
Compare Trend and Aim Lines:
– Trend steeper than
aimline
• Increase goal
– Aimline steeper than
trend
• Change intervention
3-Consecutive Data Points:
– 3 data points above the
aimline/criteria
• Increase goal
– 3 data points below the

• Maintain intervention
• Maintain intervention
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
A General Rule…
 The more data and the greater the stability
of those data, the more confidence to make
educational decision(s).
 Greater variability in data indicates the need
for additional data to make educational
decision(s).
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
• Multiple sources of data. Consider:
–
–
–
–
Number of data points
Variability of data
Level of performance
Direction and degree of trends in data
• Convergent data and professional judgment
• Based on resources available within the
environment
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Keep in Mind....
• NO Integrity data AND Progress monitoring
data....no decision making!
• When ever you look at progress monitoring
graphs, integrity data should be viewed along
side in order to make a decision.

– Consistent with the resources available in the
setting
– Consistent with the available administrative
support
FBA/BIP Training Series: Day 4
Assess Implementation of Communication
Plan with Caregivers/Provider
• Assess whether communication plan was
implemented as intended
– Did we communicate at certain points of year as
was predetermined? As often as was intended?
– Did we update parents on student progress? With
predetermined communication method (e.g.,
email, phone)?
• Did the communication reflect a behavioral
(IEP) goal that focuses on the replacement
behaviors?
