Do not delay in addressing behavior problems, things will only get worse. (Severe) 5. When meeting with the student, BEGIN by listening carefully to what the student has to say and try to understand what is motivating this behavior. THEN present your side of the story. Continue the discussion until you arrive at a mutually agreeable solution. Justification/Explanation of Strategies: - use different strategies between minor and severe misbehavior. There needs to be a difference between how you deal with different behaviors and use them consistently. That way students also know what to expect if they do something wrong. - It is important to let parents know Relation of Strategies to School Policies and Procedures: - Creating a safe place of respect, where students feel safe and protected in order for optimal learning.
