Behavior is communication. Unexpected behavior tells us that the classroom conditions are not yet aligned with the student's needs. Tier I supports are intended to create the conditions needed for each student to feel a sense of belonging, agency and identity so that they will thrive in the classroom setting. Punitive responses to behavior are misaligned with this goal. Tier I supports are asset-based and intended to support students in gaining strategies that they can generalize across the school setting to positively impact their experience when needed.

Adult Considerations
When I have reflected on the following questions and have modified my own behavior/expectations when needed:
Is the behavior that I'm seeing developmentally appropriate, even if misaligned with the expectations?
Were our classroom expectations created in community? Do they reflect the values of the students and their families?
Is my personal bias impacting the way that I view this behavior?
Am I regulated and able to respond to the student in a calm, supportive manner?
Student Considerations
When students are not following school/classroom expectations
When students need support or time to process an event (eg: after an argument between students)
How do I do it:
How do I do it:
Student is given a reflection sheet
The teacher briefly explains the expectation that was not followed and the impact of the behavior
Student is given time to reflect on the behavior
A timer may be used if it would benefit the student
Alternatives to writing may be drawing pictures, talking into a microphone and recording responses, or typing responses into a computer
Consider giving options for location to complete reflection sheet
