Key Components of a BIP

In school Tier 3 support, the Center on PBIS describes function-based assessment, individualized student teams and data-based review. Use this worksheet to organize the team’s information, not to choose interventions. A professional/team with appropriate behavior-support expertise must review the draft, permissions and safety arrangements before use. Read the Center on PBIS Tier 3 guidance.

Common BIP Mistakes

No FBA: Record the qualified team’s assessment source and supported hypothesis; do not infer function by ticking a box.
Vague definitions: "Aggression" is not operational. "Hitting peers with open or closed hand" is operational.
Punishment-only: An effective BIP emphasizes teaching and prevention, not just consequences.
No replacement behavior: Record the replacement skill and individualized teaching plan selected by the qualified team.
No data plan: Without data collection and review, you have no way to know if the BIP is working.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BIP?

A BIP records an individualized approach to behavior support. Assessment findings inform the plan; the qualified team specifies strategies, implementation and data review. This worksheet organizes what you enter and does not conduct an assessment or approve a plan.

Who writes a BIP?

Use a qualified professional/team with appropriate behavior-support expertise. In schools, involve the relevant student support or IEP team and family as applicable. Roles, consent and requirements depend on the setting; using this worksheet does not establish compliance.

How often should a BIP be updated?

Record the individualized review schedule and decision rules agreed by the responsible team. Review assessment, implementation and outcome data with that team when deciding whether to change the plan. This tool does not impose a universal two-to-four-week or quarterly deadline.

Is client data saved?

This worksheet generates text in the current page and does not save its entries for later use. Use non-identifying references. Copying or printing creates a separate record you control.
