The purpose of a behavior contract is to establish clear guidelines and expectations for behavior, often targeting specific areas of concern or goals for improvement. It typically involves an individual (such as a student) and an authority figure (such as a teacher or parent) who collaboratively define the desired behaviors, set achievable goals, and determine appropriate consequences.
