PS564-4: Develop a performance monitoring tool to inform feedback and reinforcement procedures that improve personnel performance. PC-1.2: Contribute to team goals and objectives through active participation and collaboration. For this assignment, you will use your knowledge of organizational behavior management-based principles of performance management, supervision, teamwork, and communication to develop a comprehensive 12- to 16-page Performance Management Plan Portfolio to enhance staff/trainee improvement in a given environment. You are an ABA team of professionals working within a system that requires assessment and training to maximize the performance of the staff or stakeholders within that system. Your team has an opportunity to choose a case study to work from to complete this assignment: For this assignment, you will use your knowledge of organizational behavior management-based principles of performance management, supervision, teamwork, and communication to develop a comprehensive 12- to 16-page Performance Management Plan Portfolio to enhance staff/trainee improvement in a given environment. You are an ABA team of professionals working within a system that requires assessment and training to maximize the performance of the staff or stakeholders within that system. Your team has an opportunity to choose a case study to work from to complete this assignment: Case Study 2: School Program (includes teacher, class aides, and one-on-one) Edgardo is a fifth-grade student in an inclusion classroom with a regular education teacher, a special education teacher (who is only in the classroom for half of the day during math and language arts), and two paraprofessionals (a classroom aide and Edgardo’s one-on-one aide). Edgardo has a diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder and exhibits frequent noncompliance and occasional physical disruption of the classroom (swipes materials from tables/desks, pushes furniture around, and dumps materials). As a result, Edgardo does not complete much of his schoolwork during the day because his behaviors impede his task completion, and the district is considering a more restrictive classroom environment if Edgardo’s behaviors are not improved. Edgardo’s special education teacher has some basic knowledge of applied behavior analysis; however, the general education teacher and paraprofessionals have never been trained in ABA. Evaluating Outcomes: Design one or more evaluation tools that will effectively measure performance outcomes. Discuss the process that your team has established to evaluate performance outcomes and provide an explanation of how the selected measures provide reliable information to analyze whether performance outcomes have been met.
