You have implemented Sport Education in your physical education program, and the students are in a volleyball season. Carita, who has a learning disability, is consistently on the brink of academic failure in several subjects. She is a bright student, but she lacks discipline. For the second day in a row, you have caught her standing behind the gym talking and smoking (cigarettes) with two guys (Matt and Will) instead of being in class. What is the best way to intervene in this situation?
A) Construct a behavioral proclamation that identifies contingencies for both you (the teacher) and Carita. In addition, use response cost if she is again caught talking with Matt and Will.
B) Construct a behavioral contract that identifies contingencies for both you (the teacher) and Carita. In addition, use differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors where you use praise whenever she improves her academic effort (e.g., seeks help from a tutor, improves her study habits, completes all assignments on time) ; use awareness talks with the class as a whole to discuss the dangers and legalities of smoking cigarettes.
C) Use time-out procedures whenever she is caught smoking or talking with Matt or Will.
D) Use verbal reprimand and punish her with running laps after class is over.
