Teacher

  • Builds upon existing relationship with student by privately discussing causes and solutions to repeated misbehaviors
  • Provides specific and brief corrections, e.g., stating expected behavior for academic and social errors
  • Begins with the least restrictive procedure to discourage rule violating behavior - nonverbal signals, e.g., eye contact, proximity, shaking head, 
    TPR
    ; moving to verbal corrections; then proceeding to more restrictive procedures as needed, e.g., time-out to problem-solve misbehavior
  • Provides verbal signals when student's behavior is not appropriate; asks student/s to state and show expected behavior, “
    solve that problem"
  • Secures student's attention and redirects student to correct behavior
  • Uses teach, reteach as needed to make good decisions, show respect and solve problems
