What it does
A simple plan that helps a student do what they already know they should do. Name the habit that is hard to keep and get if-then plans plus a plan for the obstacle that gets in the way. It is written for teachers. The method pairs a trigger with an action, for example "If I get home, then I start my homework before my phone". It also uses the WOOP routine: wish, outcome, obstacle, plan. You give the behavior, the year group and the barrier. You get the plan, exact words the student can say or write, and a way to check whether it is working. It takes about two minutes.
