Progress) Office Discipline Referral Forms Classroom Behavior Tracking Forms
Developing a Coherent Behavior Response Process
11/29/05 SERC 3
Today’s Topics Team Updates Effective Consequences Identifying School-wide Expectations Identifying Rules for Unique Settings
11/29/05 SERC 4
TEAM UPDATES 3 Things you have accomplished since our
first meeting
2 Things you’d like to share
1 Task you will do as a next step
Behavior Tracking Forms
11/29/05 SERC 6
Characteristics of an Effective Office Referral Form A clear distinction between problem
behaviors that are staff-managed (minor) versus office-managed (major)
11/29/05 SERC 7
Major Discipline Incidents Defined
Discipline incidents that must be handled by the administration.
Purpose Once behaviors are operationally defined, it is
essential that the team distinguish the major discipline incidents from the minor to determine the appropriate consequence
11/29/05 SERC 8
Minor Discipline Incidents Defined
Discipline incidents that must be handled by the classroom teacher and usually do not warrant a discipline referral to the office.
Purpose To determine appropriate consequence and
where the consequence should be delivered.
These incidences are tracked.
11/29/05 SERC 9
Emergency or Crisis Incidents Defined
Discipline incidents that require immediate response from administration and/or crisis response team
Purpose Maintain order and safety during emergency
situations
Each school is urged to consult their district and school policies for emergency/crisis incidents
11/29/05 SERC 10
Categorizing Behaviors District team
What should a district policy say about
Major behaviors Minor behaviors Crisis Incidents
Bowers Take your list of
behaviors and determine if they are major or minor
How will you get faculty consensus?
Bennet Brainstorm a list of
consequences for levels 1 and 2.
How will you get faculty consensus?
Action Plan!
What will you do with this information?
Office Discipline Referral Form
11/29/05 SERC 13
Office Discipline Referral Form Office referrals should
answer the following questions: Who Why What When Where
Clarity on the referral form takes the guess work out of the data entry person’s job
Data will be more reliable and accurate as judgment calls are minimized
11/29/05 SERC 14
Characteristics of an Effective Referral Form Student’s name Date Time of incident Student’s Teacher
(optional) Student’s grade level Referring Staff Location of Incident
Problem behavior Possible motivation Others involved Administrative
Decision Other comments No more than 3 extra
info.
11/29/05 SERC 15
Activity: Office Referral Form Compare your school’s current discipline
referral form to the characteristics presented
Discuss as a team what components your referral form may be missing and how it could be improved
Action Plan!
What will you do with this information?
Classroom Tracking Forms
11/29/05 SERC 18
Goal of the Tracking Form Collect data that is necessary to identify
effective ways of changing inappropriate classroom behavior (minor) before it results in an office discipline referral (major)
Determine how this information will connect to EIP
11/29/05 SERC 19
Classroom Tracking Forms Classroom behaviors take up considerable
amounts of teacher time that could be better spent on instruction
Forms assist in identifying the pattern of behavior and determining interventions that will be most effective for the student(s)
11/29/05 SERC 20
Classroom Tracking Forms District team
What information from classroom tracking would you like to track district-wide?
How would this data connect to EIP?
Bowers & Bennet Determine what data
you would need from classroom tracking system
Determine how this data will support
School-wide decisions EIP Process
Determine how a classroom tracking system can be done for your school
Action Plan!
What will you do with this information?
A Coherent Behavior Response Process
11/29/05 SERC 23
Behavior Response Process Evaluate current behavior response
process and procedures Is the process meaningful and effective Identify whether teachers are following the
current plan for completing office discipline referrals
Interview teachers on their perceptions regarding the school’s responsiveness to behavior
11/29/05 SERC 24
Behavior Response Process The next step is to insure that a school has
a predictable Behavior Response Process. This process must be defined, taught, and agreed upon with all staff, and must include definitions for: Major discipline incidents Minor discipline incidents Tiered system level I, II & III Emergency or crisis incidents A continuum of discipline procedures
11/29/05 SERC 25
Developing a Coherent Behavior Response Process Once your school has developed
appropriate definitions of major, minor, and crisis incidents, it is necessary to develop a coherent response process The process can be either narrative or graphic
(see examples on following pages)

Developing Effective
Consequences
11/29/05 SERC 31
What is the Purpose of Developing Consequences The more students know the rules and
consequences for misbehavior and are aware that the rules in a school are applied fairly under a “system of laws,” the less victimization and disorder is present in the school (Mayer & Leone, 1999)
11/29/05 SERC 32
When Developing Consequences… Clearly identify where various behaviors
will be managed (classroom vs. office referral)
Develop an array of responses to behavior of concern
Include opportunities for students to learn and practice more acceptable behaviors
11/29/05 SERC 33
When Developing Consequences… Develop a system for notifying:
staff involved with the discipline of a particular student
parents to avoid inconsistencies students and reminding them of their
responsibilities with regard to consequences if the intervention will not be administered immediately
11/29/05 SERC 34
When Developing Consequences… Establish re-entry procedures for staff and
students to follow when a student returns to class
Align data collection procedures with the school-wide discipline plan
Develop documentation processes that facilitate the analysis of problems at all levels
11/29/05 SERC 35
When Developing Consequences… The system should not rely entirely on the
student’s ability and/or willingness to inform parents of the problems
AVOID long delays between the notification of misbehavior and the implementation of a disciplinary action
Refrain from establishing a policy of revoking previously earned rewards
Example: Detention scheduled one week later
11/29/05 SERC 36
Effective Strategies for Classroom Level Including effective interventions at the
classroom level: Re-teach the expectations/rules Change seating arrangements Conference with parent and/or student Peer mediation Student contract Provide choices Remove tempting items from the classroom
11/29/05 SERC 37
Effective Strategies for Classroom Level Including effective interventions at the
classroom level: Humor Let the student “save face” Re-direction Failure to earn a privilege Restitution/apology Prompt & cue both verbal & non-verbal Reward alternate positive behavior
Examples of Responses
11/29/05 SERC 39
Examples of Administrative Responses Conference with
student Individualized
instruction Loss of privilege Out-of-school
suspensions Saturday school
Time in office Time out/detention Expulsion In-school suspension Other Parent contact
11/29/05 SERC 40
Examples of Classroom Responses Staff trained to immediately correct:
Name problem behavior State school-wide expected behavior Model expected behavior Ask student to demonstrate behavior Provide acknowledgement to student
Staff trained to administer consequence: Follow procedures based on major/minor
11/29/05 SERC 41
Challenges Aligning consequences with other
components of the school-wide positive behavior support plan
Communicating among staff and administration
Communicating with parents Developing a hierarchy of consequences Maintaining a consistency in delivery of
consequences
11/29/05 SERC 42
Solutions Provide opportunities for staff, families,
and students to contribute ideas Align plans for consequences with other
components of the school-wide plan Streamline documentation procedures to
facilitate communication Train all staff and administrators in
procedures to maintain consistency Identify each person’s role in the process
11/29/05 SERC 43
Solutions Train multiple staff members to assume
responsibilities for detention, in-school-suspension, and other disciplinary processes
Plan for other staff members to assume the roles of people who are absent
Tape training sessions and keep training materials on file for use during booster sessions and with newly hired staff
Notify all parents of the new discipline procedures
11/29/05 SERC 44
Response Process District team
Which behavior should reach attention of the district level?
When referrals reach the attention of district/central office (e.g., Expulsion Committee, Truancy Committee)?
What process should schools follow?
Bennet Put list of responses
(minor and major) in a format that can be shared with staff and families as a reference:
(e.g., Create a flow chart/visual representation)
Bowers Create a list of
minor/major behaviors aligned with some suggested responses:

School-wide Expectations
11/29/05 SERC 47
School-wide Expectations Definition:
A list of specific, positively stated behaviors that is desired of all faculty and students
Also referred to as concepts These expectations should be in line with the
school’s mission statement and should be taught to all faculty, students, and families
11/29/05 SERC 48
Guidelines for Expectations Identify behaviors expected of all students
and staff in all settings Select 3 to 5 behaviors State expectations in positive terms Select expectations that are general
enough to be applicable in multiple settings, but specific enough to be of assistance in generating rules for targeted settings
