BIP
Behavior Intervention Plan
What it actually means for your child.
Legal Definition
A BIP is a formal plan that teaches and rewards positive behaviors while aiming to prevent or stop problem behaviors. It is developed based on the results of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). A BIP focuses on understanding *why* the behavior happens and replacing it with a more appropriate skill.
Why You Must Care
A BIP ensures the school uses restorative, teaching-based approaches to behavior rather than just punitive measures (like suspension).
