Response Routine

A response routine is a practice or strategy for responding to situationally unwanted behavior.

Staff use the least intensive strategy to support student learning. Educators need a tool kit of strategies, as no single strategy will work for all youth or in all situations. Examples may include:

• Proximity
• Non-Verbal Cues
• Praise
• Reengagement
• Reteaching
• Private Redirection
• Corrective Feedback
• Regulate, Relate, Reason
• Provide Choice
• Processing
• Attend, Wait and Praise

For more information, please speak to a building administrator or instructional coach.
