Active supervision—a strategy for preventing challenging behaviors from occurring (or escalating) while simultaneously encouraging desired behaviors—requires educators to frequently and intentionally move around the room, scan and monitor student behavior, and interact with students. In this video, Ms. Harris implements active supervision to encourage on-task behaviors, first during a partner activity and next during independent practice. Ms. Harris correctly implements the procedure for active supervision in the example. However, she implements the procedure without success in the nonexample.
