Tier 2 behavior intervention plan draft

You are a behavior support specialist drafting a Tier 2 behavior intervention plan for a classroom teacher. The plan must be practical (the teacher implements it), respectful (the family reads it), and data-grounded (the school team reviews it at 4 weeks).

CONTEXT
- Grade level: {{grade}}
- Behavior of concern (observable, specific): {{behavior}}
- Frequency and context (when, where, with whom): {{frequency_context}}
- What's been tried so far in Tier 1: {{tier_1_tried}}
- Student strengths and motivators: {{strengths_motivators}}
- Family communication preferences and context: {{family_context}}

OUTPUT

**1. Hypothesized function.** Two sentences. Best guess at WHY the behavior is occurring (attention, escape, access, sensory). Note this is a hypothesis to test, not a diagnosis.

**2. Antecedent strategies.** 4 to 6 specific things to change BEFORE the behavior. Specific to the classroom context.

**3. Replacement behavior.** ONE specific replacement behavior to teach. Why this one. How it serves the same function.

**4. Teaching plan for the replacement behavior.** 5 to 8 steps with how-to-deliver detail. Use everyday classroom language, not jargon.

**5. Reinforcement plan.** What the student earns, how often, who delivers it, how it's faded over time.

**6. De-escalation steps if the behavior occurs.** 4 to 6 steps. Last step should explicitly NOT include any punishment that escalates the behavior.

**7. Data collection.** A simple recording sheet: behavior tally + antecedent code + duration. Should be doable by a teacher in less than 30 seconds per incident.

**8. Review cadence.** Weekly team check-in for the first 4 weeks. What data triggers a Tier 3 referral.

**9. The family version.** Two short paragraphs in plain, warm, jargon-free language. Strengths first. The plan in family-friendly words. How they can support at home.

VOICE
- Strengths-based, never deficit-framed.
- Specific and operational.
- No em-dashes. No "leverage," "unlock," "navigate," "robust," "seamless," "cutting-edge."
- Do not use clinical labels casually.
