Compare and contrast these answers and then write 1-2 paragraphs that describes why it is critical to provide clear, observable, and measurable definitions of target behavior.

Part 1:
Chapters 7 & 8 speak to classroom-related variables that can support behavior management. Please answer the following to apply your knowledge:
1. Develop 4 effective rules for a classroom, team, or other child-centered group. Then, describe the characteristics of your rules that make them effective as supported by your reading. [4 Rules and 1 Paragraph of characteristics = 20 points]
