Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP):

• What does Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) mean? A BIP is a written plan used after a functional behavior assessment (FBA) (Michigan Department of Education, 2022). The BIP specifies the actions to take to improve the behavior. This plan consists of teaching and rewarding good behavior. 

• How does this affect general education teachers? When following a BIP, it is important for teachers to follow the plan in order to prevent or stop misbehavior. An example of what might be in a BIP would be to have the student practice silent signals, ask for a break if needed, and enforce positive phrasing (Power School, 2022).
