CEU Course Description 

Group contingencies can be utilized as part of a classroom management system that can assist with the reduction of challenging behaviors within the educational environment.  Additionally, contingency contracting can be used to reduce classroom disruptions by outlining and specifying a contingent relationship that exists between the completion of a targeted behavior and that of the reward that is delivered once the targeted behavior is completed.  Both of these interventions are evidence-based strategies that can be used with a variety of behaviors and are fairly easy to implement for teachers or educators within a classroom setting. Within this information, an (1) overview will be provided that delineates the relationship of group contingencies and contingency contracting to behavioral principles.  Additionally, (2) guidelines for designing, implementing and evaluating group contingencies and contingency contracting will be addressed as well as the (3) rationale for and advantages of group contingencies and contingency contracting.  Furthermore, the (4) application of group contingencies and contingency contracting within a classroom management system will be discussed.
