Coaching the Continuum of Consequences

Developing the Continuum of Consequences
Schools implementing the positive high-expectations behaviour model have a continuum of procedures for discouraging inappropriate behaviour. In this model, problem behaviours are seen as behavioural errors; they are corrected instructionally. The continuum is developed by the BMT with support from the coach and sign-off from the principal. 

Identifying Behavioural Errors
Problem behaviours are defined in three levels with increasingly strict consequences. The coach works with the principal and BMT to develop definitions of and protocol for each level of behaviour. 

                                Level 1 (Minor)                           Level 2 (Minor)                                       Level 3 (Major)

  • Teacher enters incident into Student Tracker
  • Teacher contacts principal and BMTPrincipal and teacher contact parents and other relevant organisations (e.g. case manager, counsellor, police)
  • Teacher and BMT develop a student intervention plan with support from principal and other relevant organisations
  • The coach works with the BMT to determine the intensity of each behavioural error and develop the response necessary for each one. Behavioural errors can be categorised into two general groups: minor (Level 1) and major (Level 2/3) behavioural incidents. 

    Minor behavioural incidents are managed by the teacher in the classroom. 

    Major behavioural incidents are referred out of the classroom to be addressed by the principal or other school leader such as the coach. 

    Training the School Team
    The coach works with the school team to reinforce the definitions of misbehaviours and their level of seriousness as well as the delivery of logical consequences. They also provide training in effective reteaching of school-wide expectations, social skills and character strengths in response to behavioural errors to increase prevention of escalation.
