Think Function Education

Reactive → Proactive

Think function before responding to behavior.

For schools where recurring behavior concerns, inconsistent adult responses, weak implementation or unstable classroom systems are consuming staff and administrator time.

What the work does

Not hourly coverage. A system your school keeps.

The goal is not consultant dependence. The goal is internal competence.

  • Identify what is contributing to the pattern
  • Determine what adults should change
  • Build staff competency
  • Support implementation
  • Measure fidelity
  • Strengthen internal capacity
  • Leave the school with a system it can continue using
Signature method

IDENTIFY → PLAN → NAVIGATE

Identify

Observable behavior patterns, antecedents and consequences, environmental and instructional variables, adult-response and reinforcement patterns, implementation barriers, and supported working function hypotheses.

Plan

Specify what adults will change before, during and after behavior: routines, antecedent arrangements, precorrection, task adjustments, reinforcement, replacement-response teaching, staff roles, data and decision rules.

Navigate

Train and coach staff to implement the plan: targeted PD, Behavior Skills Training, modeling, rehearsal, feedback, classroom coaching, fidelity checks and procedure refinement.

Supporting adult response sequence: Ground → Read → Reduce → Guide → Reinforce → Review. It supports NAVIGATE; it does not replace IDENTIFY → PLAN → NAVIGATE.

Offers

Three ways to start

Each engagement covers one school and specifically defined classrooms or settings. District leaders may sponsor, fund or refer schools into the work.

Questions schools ask

Do we need the Behavior Diagnostic before Implementation + Capacity?

No. The Diagnostic is embedded in Implementation + Capacity. The $18,500 fixed fee is the total for that engagement.

Does this cover our whole district?

No. Each engagement covers one school and specifically defined classrooms or settings. District leaders can sponsor, fund or refer individual schools.

Does this include FBAs or behavior plans for individual students?

No. Focal student examples are used to identify patterns, not to write individualized FBAs or BIPs. Individualized assessment is separately scoped if needed.

Is this crisis support?

No. Reactive → Proactive is not crisis-response coverage. Unsafe or severe behavior requires your school's established crisis and safety procedures.

What happens if we need more than the base scope?

Additional classrooms, buildings, observation or coaching cycles, PD sessions or new deliverables are added through a written change order before work begins.

Not sure which option fits?

The School Implementation Conversation determines whether your next step is a Behavior Scan, a Behavior Diagnostic or Implementation + Capacity.
