Reinforcing the Discipline Plan

What can you do to reinforce the Normont School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention Support Plan?

Learn and model the Normont School-wide behavior expectations.
Make Connections between the School-wide Behavioral Plan and your Classroom Behavior Management Plan, and behavior at home. (It creates consistency!)
Find opportunities daily to refer to the Guiding Principles, the Behavior Expectations, and Second Step in your lessons. (Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be a Leader)
Consider misbehavior as an opportunity for learning. (Will the consequence teach the student what to do next time?)
Look for and acknowledge students that are following the Guiding Principles and Behavior Expectations. (Verbal praise, caught being good tickets, stickers, positive note home, high five, etc)
