Effective Procedures for Dealing with Problem Behavior
What:
- Discipline process described in narrative format or depicted in graphic form. (see Flowchart examples)
- Discipline process includes documentation.
- Discipline referral form includes information useful in decision making
- Problem behaviors are defined
- Major/minor (office vs classroom managed) behaviors are clearly differentiated.
- Suggested array of appropriate responses to major problem behaviors
Why:
- Creates consistency across staff in dealing with problem behavior
- Students know expectations and how their behavior will be handled no matter where they are
- Data becomes more accurate as all staff define behavior in the same way
How:
Praise Other Students | Attend, “Ignore” and Effective Praise | Reteach | Engagement Strategies: Increase Opportunities to Respond |
Private Redirect/ Conference | Proximity | Provide Choice | Non-Verbal Cue |
