Strategies most effective in the Classroom and Schoolwide?

Preventative (before the behavior happens) Are we teaching expectations?(what do we want?) Are we acknowledging students who demonstrate expectations? Are we creating environments for students to be successful? (safe and secure) Are we meeting students needs? (emotional)

Interactive (during the behavior) Do we use a hierarchy of redirection

Non-verbal, verbal, time – out in classroom, time-outside of classroom, intense consequence, etc.

Interact with dignity and respect (behavioral)
