=== Behavior management ===
Properly implemented taught goal-setting programs are effective in K-12 schools for behavior and emotional management interventions.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Epton|first=T|date=2017|title=Unique effects of setting goals on behavior change: Systematic review and meta-analysis.|url=https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/ccp0000260|access-date=2021-04-15|journal=Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology|volume=85|issue=12|pages=1182–1198|doi=10.1037/ccp0000260|pmid=29189034|s2cid=22124233|hdl=1893/25978|hdl-access=free}}</ref> In particular, programs that included student input on the goal setting process as well as the collection of targeting data to monitor progress and ensure the delivery of high quality feedback to students on progress towards goals were more effective behavior management interventions.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bruhn|first1=Allison L.|last2=Mcdaniel|first2=Sara C.|last3=Fernando|first3=Josephine|last4=Troughton|first4=Leonard|date=2016-02-01|title=Goal-Setting Interventions for Students with Behavior Problems: A Systematic Review|journal=Behavioral Disorders|language=en|volume=41|issue=2|pages=107–121|doi=10.17988/0198-7429-41.2.107|s2cid=148116102|issn=0198-7429|doi-access=free}}</ref> In order to ensure a properly designed goal setting intervention for behavior management some variation of a checklist can be an effective addition to behavioral management programs. A typical such checklist could include the following factors:

# Identify and define behavior
# Establish a behavior monitoring plan
# Collect baseline data
# Set goals
# Monitor progress towards goals
# Review data<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Kumm|first1=Skip|last2=Maggin|first2=Daniel|date=2021-03-16|title=Intensifying Goal-Setting Interventions for Students With Emotional and Behavioral Disorders|url=https://doi.org/10.1177/1074295621996616|journal=Beyond Behavior|volume=30|language=en|pages=14–23|doi=10.1177/1074295621996616|s2cid=233279544|issn=1074-2956|url-access=subscription}}</ref>

Goal-setting also works effectively either or its own or as part of a package of other behavior management interventions.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bruhn|first1=Allison Leigh|last2=Fernando|first2=Josephine|last3=McDaniel|first3=Sara|last4=Troughton|first4=Leonard|date=2017-08-01|title=Putting Behavioral Goal-Setting Research Into Practice|url=https://doi.org/10.1177/1074295617711208|journal=Beyond Behavior|language=en|volume=26|issue=2|pages=66–73|doi=10.1177/1074295617711208|s2cid=149195514|issn=1074-2956|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
