ABSTRACT
A good behavior intervention plans (BIP) should present in an engaging manner, contain only vital information, and have immediate utility. A behavior plan that commits the reader to further follow-up, referencing other documents, or researching new terms reduces the likelihood of implementation. Many behavior intervention plans are the result of computerized software. As most BIPs are connected to special education Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), and most IEPs are managed by specialized software, the progression of producing a BIP document through the same specialized software only seems natural. One common approach to BIPs is the creation of a menu. As a way to get buy in, some professionals believe making a laundry list of interventions and allowing the classroom teacher to choose which ones will work best is the safest approach. Compromising is the skill a teacher requires to reason through which intervention might be the most effective, compared with which intervention might be the simplest to implement.
