Student Behavior Contract FAQ
What is a student behavior contract?
A student behavior contract is a short written agreement that names a target behavior, replacement behavior, adult support, reinforcement, response steps, and review schedule.
When should teachers use a behavior contract?
Use a behavior contract when a student understands the expectation and needs a clear, predictable plan for practice, feedback, and reinforcement.
Should a behavior contract include consequences?
Yes, but consequences should be calm response steps such as reteaching, resetting, or problem solving. The contract should not rely on shame or surprise punishments.
Can this support an IEP or behavior plan?
Yes. A behavior contract can support classroom implementation, but it should align with the student's IEP, BIP, FBA findings, and team decisions.

Review it at least weekly at first. If the student is not improving, revise the support, goal size, reinforcement, or replacement behavior.
