1. Introduction
2 MINUTES
SAY
"Hi, [Student Name]! It's great to see you. How’s your day going so far? Today, we're going to spend a few minutes talking about what’s going well in class and what’s been a little tricky. Then we’ll set one clear goal to help you feel more successful. Everything we talk about stays between us—this is your time and a supportive space. Does that sound good to you?"
2. Reflection
4 MINUTES
DO
Hand over the Behavior Monitoring Sheet. Fill out the top part together.
SAY
"First, write one thing you did really well in class today. It can be anything—raising your hand, staying on task, or helping a friend. Nice! Now, in the next box, write one behavior that felt challenging for you—something you wish you could have handled differently. What happened right before the challenging behavior? Can you tell me what was going on?"
3. Identify Triggers
3 MINUTES
SAY
"Thanks for sharing! Now I’ll hand you the Trigger Identification Card. This helps us spot what triggers those tough moments. On this card, list two triggers—these could be things you see, hear, or feel that make it harder to stay calm. Next, write how those triggers make you feel—what’s happening in your body or mind?"
4. Goal Setting
4 MINUTES
SAY
"You’ve done great work. Now let’s set one clear goal. In the ‘Specific’ box, complete this sentence: ‘I will…’ For example, ‘I will raise my hand instead of calling out.’ Under ‘Measurable,’ write how you’ll know you’ve met that goal. Finally, decide on a simple way to track progress—tally marks or checkboxes."
5. Wrap-Up
2 MINUTES
SAY
"Fantastic! I’m really proud of your work today. We’ll schedule a quick check-in next week to see how it’s going. Remember, you created this plan to help you succeed. Keep your chart somewhere visible and feel free to show it to me whenever you want extra support. Great job today!"
* Provide wait time (approx. 30-45 seconds) after each prompt to allow for student processing and writing.
