The multiple-baseline design would be most appropriate for targeting hitting behavior and yelling in class as it allows for the intervention to be implemented at different times for each behavior and serves as a control for any external factors that may affect the behavior. This design involves selecting multiple behaviors and implementing the intervention at different times for each behavior, while monitoring the behavior of interest across the different baselines. This design would also allow for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention for each behavior separately.
