Students and staff need to know what behaviors are acceptable and expected in all different contexts throughout the school. In order to support students’ academic and social success, specific school wide and classroom expected behaviors must be clearly posted and explicitly taught, and retaught. Differentiate instruction of expected behavior through a variety of resources and regularly practice with students to ensure generalization across settings.

Lincoln & Russell Skiba, Indiana University

Coordinated Behavior Plans for Any Student - Creation of a structured, coordinated behavior plan specific to the student and based on the assessment of the quantity and purpose of the target behavior to be reduced; should focus on increasing desirable behavior and replacing inappropriate behavior.
2. Alternative Programming - Changes in the student’s schedule, classes or course content; assignment to an alternative school or program; independent study or work experience program. Should be tailored to the student’s needs.
3. Behavior Monitoring - Strategies to monitor behavior and academic progress might include cards checked after each class regarding behavior, self charting of behaviors, strategies to provide feedback to the student, etc.
4. Appropriate In-School Alternatives - In-school alternative in which academic tutoring, instruction related to the student’s behavior such as social skills, and a clearly defined procedure to return to class as soon as the student is ready is provided.
5. Community Service - Required amount of time in community service in school system or in the community.
6. Counseling - Students required to participate in counseling.
7. Problem Solving and Collaboration with Parents/Caregivers

- Interim Behavior Response Plan (IBRP) āø
-
The Interim Behavior Response Plan (IBRP) supports school teams in the development and implementation of an immediate and interim plan for preventing and responding to behaviors.
The cycle of acting out behavior follows a distinct sequence. Each stage of the IBRP addresses the student’s behavior as well as staff responses (suggested strategies) that should be used to support the student in remaining or returning to calm.

- Restorative Practices
-
Provides a proactive systematic approach for schools to build a positive school culture that
promotes School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. Restorative practices emphasize community building and commit to restoring positive relationships. Restorative practices promote and strengthen positive school culture. It allows school staff to commit to the creation of an environment focused on instruction and positive behavioral support which leads to academic success for all students. School communities implement school-wide expectations and restorative practices in unison with stakeholder groups to ensure successful positive school climates, stronger school communities, productive interpersonal relationships, and tools to address student misconduct.The District adopted the School Climate Bill of Rights in May 2013 and committed to implementing restorative practices in all schools by 2020.
