Scenario: School Team Shares Responsibility for Improvement

Step 1: The school’s Behaviour Management Team has established values, routines and rules, and the processes for managing inappropriate behaviour. The teaching team understands their crucial role in these processes.  

Step 2: Teacher Lucy has a student who was recently involved in a major behaviour incident. Lucy reported the incident to the Behaviour Management Team and worked with them to develop an Individual Behaviour Plan for the student, taking into account what she knew about the student’s unique needs and challenges.   

Step 4: The student feels supported. He knows what is expected of him, and his teacher responds consistently. She updates the Behaviour Management Team on his progress regularly.       

Step 3: Lucy supports the student in class by following the plan: giving him a place to work away from certain other students he has had conflict with, and reminding him of the expectations when he struggles.
