  ideas)

  white board) make notation on Stoplight class
  chart this travels to specialist teachers

How to use the discipline referral form

• Write a referral when a student has been moved to
  the red light.
• If the behavior is a minor offense, the teacher
  will administer the consequences and send one
  copy to the office, send one copy home and keep
  one copy.
• If the behavior is a major offense or a second
  referral form for the day, the student needs to
  take the whole discipline referral form to the
  office. Administration consultation may be
  required, depending upon the behavior. A written
  record of the action taken will be returned to
  the teacher that day so the appropriate referral
  form copies can be sent home.

Possible Consequences for not meeting behavior
expectations

  form
• Loss of recess to work on behaviors- contract,
  behavior plan or hassle log

• Call parents
• Letter of apology
• Draw picture of problem behavior and possible
  solution. Get the student involved in choosing a
  good solution

  the consequence with the behavior and
  consequences should come as soon as possible
  after the behavior!
• Restating/rewriting behavior expectations
• After school detention
• Note home (can have student write or draw this)
• Change seating arrangements
• Behavior contract
• Try to think through how you want the child to
  change. Keep your cool and

  unable to do thisAsk for

17
Prevention Ideas

• Proximity
• Proximity praise (praising another student
  nearby)
• Conference with teacher
• Have student restate rules and why that rule is
  important
• Removal to another area of the classroom
• Brief time out in the classroom (never put a
  child unattended in the hallway)
• Buddy helper
• Praise for meeting behavior expectations
• Behavior contract
• Have the student draw a picture of what the rule
  looks like and how he or she feels while
  following a rule
• Do not use sarcasm, threats or intimidation
  while using any of these techniques

Cool Tool of The Week Keeping hands and feet to
yourself School-Wide Expectation Be Respectful,
Be Safe Purpose of the lesson? Why it is
important 1.To teach students that keeping their
hands and feet to themselves shows respect to
others. 2.To create a safe and secure educational
environment for students and staff
members. Teaching Examples 1.A girl is in line
at the water fountain waiting to get a drink. A
boy squeezes in front of her and she is about
to push him out of the way, but she stops and
remembers that she should keep her hands and
feet to herself so she uses her words to tell the
other student how she feels. 2.A 4th grade boy
is at recess and hears another boy saying
something mean about him to someone else. At
first the boy is sad but quickly becomes angry.
His hand is clenched into a fist and he is
about to walk over to that boy to hit him. He
stops and remembers that he is expected to
keep his hands and feet to himself, so he walks
over to a recess monitor and talks about how
he feels. 3.A girl was trying to become friends
with another girl in her class. She would often
do things to impress her. One day the girl
asked her to pretend to accidentally bump into a
boy because she wanted the boys attention.
The girl was about to do it but stopped and
remembered that she is expected to keep her hands
and feet to herself and she knew that bumping
into someone on purpose was not keeping her body
to herself. Kid Activities/Role Plays(this
will probably take longer than one lesson) 1.Have
students list and discuss different kinds of
feelings and in what kinds of situations they
have these feelings. 2.Teach students how to
verbally express themselves by using I
feelbecause. statements. 3. Role-play
situations that might have led to physical
contact but didnt because students were
able to express their feelings. Follow-up/Reinforc
ement Activities 1. Staff members should model
using I feelbecause statements. 2.Verbally
praise and give Pride Oak Leaves to students who
are keeping hands and feet to themselves.
