This resource provides information about precorrection, a low-intensity strategy that can be used to prevent inappropriate academic and social behaviors in the classroom. Precorrection, also called prompting, is exactly as it sounds. The teacher or adult identifies a potential time and place an undesirable behavior may occur and then prompts and praises the appropriate behavior. This strategy can be used daily, at multiple points throughout the day.
The resource includes guidelines and examples of precorrection statements that educators can utilize in classroom instruction.
