Level 2 Blues

We’ve been intentional in our efforts to ensure that Level 2 Behavior Reports are used meaningfully and not excessively, in order to preserve their impact and effectiveness. Last week, we focused on the importance of parent communication. This week, our attention will shift to the role consequences play in reducing Level 2 behaviors.

Consequences

When a Level 2 behavior report is given, it’s essential that a consequence is given.

Consequences help reinforce the idea that choices have outcomes, both positive and negative. Without a follow-through action, even a small one, the behavior report can feel insignificant to the student. It’s the consequence that helps connect the behavior to reflection, responsibility, and ultimately, change.

If you are having difficulties trying to find an appropriate consequence, you can use the examples below or speak to a member of the leadership team for suggestions.

      ·       Apology letter with parent signature

      ·       Restitution for damage or stolen items

      ·       Formal or informal Student-Teacher conference (identify the misbehavior, reteach the appropriate behavior, provide adjusting feedback, allow for practice and/or provide an opportunity for the student to demonstrate the appropriate behavior)

      ·       Structured/Supervised Time out (e.g., desk in corner, carpet at back of room)  

      ·       Think It Over sheet

      ·       Temporary removal from class to buddy room

      ·       Behavior Mini Course packets located on the “Behavior Site” app or you can click HERE.

     Thank you for your continued efforts in making Level 2 behavior reports a valuable and effective part of our student support system.
