Positive Behavior Interventions
Teachers are expected to teach and reinforce school-wide and classroom behavior expectations to use as they teach their students appropriate classroom behaviors. Take a Break gives students a chance to “take a break” and step back to reflect upon their behavior, the choices that they are making, and the impact those choices are having on others’ learning. TAB Out and Back is intended for minor disruptions and is intended to be a learning opportunity for students and is not used as a disciplinary action. This is a chance for students to quietly pull themselves together before losing control and potentially getting themselves into trouble. Once the student reflects upon his or her behavior and develops a plan for re-entering the classroom environment successfully, the originating teacher welcomes the student back into the classroom to the learning that is taking place.
Steps for TAB Out and Back
After the teacher has stated expectations and behavior to correct, the student will exit the classroom and go straight to the buddy teacher’s classroom.
The buddy classroom should be in line of sight and near your class.
The teacher will stand at the door until the student arrives at the buddy teacher’s classroom door.
When the student arrives at the buddy teacher’s classroom, the student will open the door quietly, stand in the doorway until addressed by the teacher who will direct them where to sit to complete the student reflection form.
The student completes the form quickly and quietly. Then, the student will raise their hand to let the teacher know they are ready to return to the class.
The Teacher will review the student reflection form and will dismiss the student back to class and note time of return on the form.
Upon return, stand in the doorway quietly and wait to be addressed by the teacher.
The student will then give the completed TAB form to the originating teacher and re engage back to the learning community. How this looks may differ from classroom to classroom but students should expect some type of “quick conference” with the teacher.
