The Kesem Behavior Management Pyramid is made up of three layers--each reflecting an increasing level of ____________.

• A. Intervention for behavior
• B. Supervision intensity
• C. Camper independence
• D. Data tracking

Answer: (A)

The structure of the Kesem Behavior Management Pyramid is about escalating intervention for behavior. As you move up the layers, the responses become more direct and intensive, guiding staff from broad, preventive strategies to targeted supports and, when needed, more intensive, individualized actions. This reflects how behavior management typically works: start with universal, low‑level approaches to support everyone, then add more targeted help for those who need it, and reserve the most intensive interventions for the most challenging situations. Data tracking, supervision level, or camper independence aren’t the defining axis of the pyramid—the pyramid’s purpose is to indicate how much intervention is required to address behavior, not how much supervision is provided, how independent a camper is, or how data are used across levels.
