CalTAC, INC. is a nonprofit organization committed
to providing professional development opportunities
and technical assistance for building internal capacity
in identifying, adopting, and sustaining effective
systemic change; which promotes positive pro-social
cultures through coaching, conversation, facilitation
and artful leadership.
It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration
is not a choice, really; it’s an imperative.

Silently read all the Tips for Step 2: Goal Setting and Behavior Rating
Scale - highlight MIP’s
When everyone is finished reading, the person next to the “Trekie”
with the longest arms, becomes the mind melder
“Mind Melder” reads one MIP
The team member on the left comments on the MIP and in a
clockwise direction everyone comments on the MIP
The “Mind Melder” will complete the circle by explaining why they
chose the MIP
Step 2: Goal Setting
and Data Collection
Tip #1:
For many teams, the development of broad goals represents a critical perspective shift. In developing
broad goals, the team members no longer view their sole job as stopping a student’s challenging
behavior.
Tip #2:
A good short-term goal is one that all team members are enthusiastic about achieving..
Tip #3:
Short-term goals focus on two areas: the specific challenging behaviors(s) to be decreased and the
appropriate behavior the student should demonstrate in lieu of the challenging behavior (i.e. desired
replacement behavior). Teams always should included both in the PTR process.
Tip#4:
Behavior Rating Scales (BRS) are most successful when the target behavior is clearly defined, the best
method for measuring the behavior is selected and accurate points are established.
Step 3: Assessment
Functional Behavioral Assessement
Prime Directive:
The P-T-R FBA
is your
Prime
Directive
It is most logical that
this would be the
end of the first day
of PTR training.
When Rachel is given an independent
writing assignment, she will get out of
her seat, wander around the room,
and talk to peers until the teacher
sends her to the behavior specialist. As
a result, she is able to escape her work
and obtain attention from the
behavior specialist.
Note: each intervention strategy MUST match the results from the
PTR functional behavioral assessment and DOABLE in the
classroom
Identify at least one Prevent, Teach and
Reinforce Intervention
• Develop a step-by-step plan to implement
the interventions
• Develop a plan for training and technical
assistance
• Develop a measure of fidelity of
implementation

Are the hats really
necessary, Jim?
They do not flatter
either of us.
You are
missing the
point Spock.
The point? Are you
implying that they
serve some purpose.
1. Given this student’s behavior problems, how acceptable do you find the PreventTeach-Reinforce behavior plan?
2. How willing are you to carry out this behavior plan?
3. To what extent do you think there might be disadvantages in following this plan?
4. How much time will be needed each day for you to carry out this behavior plan?
5. How confident are you that the behavior plan will be effective for this student?
6. How likely is this behavior plan to make permanent improvements in this student’s
behavior?
7. How disruptive will it be to carry out this behavior plan?
8. How much do you like the procedures used in the proposed behavior plan?
9. How willing will other staff members be to help carry out this behavior plan?
10. To what extent are undesirable side effects likely to result from this behavior plan?
11. How much discomfort is this student likely to experience during this behavior plan?
12. How willing would you be to change your routines to carry out this behavior plan?
13. How well will carrying out this behavior plan fit into the existing routine?
14. How effective will the intervention be in teaching your student appropriate
behavior?
15. How well does the goal of the intervention fit with the team’s goals to improve the
student’s behavior?

card per person.
Stand next to your card on the
universe wall and meet and greet
your celestial partners.
Decide on conversational roles:
Facilitator, Recorder, Reporter
Read your planets contribution t the
universe and have a 10 minute
