Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ms. Delahanty is using a contingency contract by meeting individually with each student and together creating a plan for improving behavior and a reinforcement for appropriate behavior change. A contingency contract outlines the expectations for behavior and the consequences or rewards for meeting or not meeting those expectations. This personalized method is effective for addressing individual behavior issues. Option B, Keller's personalized system of instruction, is a teaching approach that emphasizes individualized instruction but is not directly related to behavior management. Option C, a token economy, and option D, a group contingency, are behavior management strategies that involve rewards for positive behavior, but they are not individualized plans.
