MEET B.O.B.
"Big 'Ole Binder"
Who is B.O.B.?
B.O.B. is the structure that the HOPS(Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills) intervention utilizes.
What is HOPS and what the heck does B.O.B. have to do with it?
The HOPS intervention in it entirety is appropriate for any student with difficulties with organization and planning in grades 3-10. Consistent with an RtI approach, HOPS intervention is a research-based program that uses frequent assessment and monitoring a students' progress and the need for supplemental intervention.
The HOPS intervention is structured so that organizational skills are introduced first, homework management skills are introduced next, and time management and planning skills are introduced last.
