What is the goal in learning about the Escalation Cycle? (Module 1–Introduction to the Escalation Cycle and Baseline Phase)

In the Baseline phase of the Escalation Cycle, the students are responding using the prefrontal cortex of their brains, which allows for planning. Which of the following is NOT one of the common characteristics associated with the Baseline phase? (Module 1–Introduction to the Escalation Cycle and Baseline Phase)

Which of the following is NOT a foundational principle of behavior? (Module 2–Foundational Principles of Behavior)

The antecedent-behavior-consequence (ABC) chain of events was discussed in Module 2. A setting event can affect how or how quickly a behavior chain happens and may enter the chain before which part of the chain? (Module 3–Setting Events)

Using the behavior skills that students have been taught in other settings and real-life situations is called generalization. Which of the following is NOT one of the ways to promote generalization of a skill? (Module 4–Teaching During the Baseline Phase)

Teachers and other adults should avoid reacting impulsively when responding to a student behavior. Instead, they should respond deliberately and use connected communication to avoid escalating the behavior. Which of the following is a reaction from the teacher that could escalate the behavior? (Module 5–The Trigger Phase)

There are several strategies that can be used to de-escalate student behaviors during the Trigger Phase. Which strategy does the following statement best describe? The adult remains calm and engages in a self-regulatory strategy such as deep breathing, modeling it for the student. The student then mirrors the regulatory strategy and begins to de-escalate as well. (Module 6–De-escalating Behavior During the Trigger Phase)

Many of the strategies described Module 6 on de-escalating during the Trigger Phase can also be used during the Escalation phase to attempt to de-escalate the behavior, but there are additional strategies described in this module. Which strategy does the following statement best describe? This strategy involves understanding or recognizing the student has a problem and communicating concern to the student. (Module 7–The Escalation Phase)

During the Crisis Phase, staff needs to consider how to ensure their safety and safety of others while the behavior runs its course. (Module 8–The Crisis, De-Escalation, and Post Crisis Phases)
