Profanity

Acknowledge student's feelings (e.g., frustrated, angry) and model an appropriate way to word their frustrations (e.g., I can see how you would be frustrated with that person, let's talk about how we can let them know how you feel)

Directly teach ways to express frustration with others (peers or adults) or with frustration with assignments

Teach or integrate coping skills into classroom routine (e.g., calming couch with a timer, mindfulness moment, breaks)

Hold a restorative circle (contact counselors/VP to facilitate)

Model alternative way of expressing feelings/needs and have student repeat

Praise alternative language that does not use profanity (e.g., expression of feelings, stating they need help or that a task is hard)

Clearly outline classroom responses or consequences to the use of profanity (e.g., parent phone call home) and follow consistently
