Systematic Positive Behavior Supports

Staff members will model, expect, and enforce expectations by taking appropriate action when expectations are not being met. A common set of core beliefs and principles identified by staff members serve as the basis for all decisions regarding the treatment of discipline problems.

Teacher Managed Behaviors

Level 1 Behaviors:

Behaviors easily dealt with and taken care of in the classroom setting.

• Talk outs

• Out of Seat

• Non-Compliance

• Mildly inappropriate interactions

• Off-task

• Unprepared

Level 2 Behaviors:

Behaviors should be dealt with first in the classroom. If a problem continues and the teacher is unable to teach through the disruption, an office refocus referral is appropriate:

• 1st Incident: Precision Requests from the teacher

• 2nd Incident: Teacher conference with explicit feedback (consequence at the discretion of the teacher)

• 3rd Incident: Reflection Form (parent contact by teacher/consequence at the discretion of the teacher)
