Reducing Office Referrals: Steps for Principals and Administrators (Part 1)

Session Description:
Are your teachers sending students to the discipline office for minor behavior infractions? If so, this problem will not be solved with a chart for classroom-managed versus office-managed behaviors. Join Ryan Jeffery for this time-saving, to the point session as he shares how you can empower your teachers with common practices that will prevent 80% of misbehaviors occurring in most classrooms. He will also address how you can coach teachers to respond to, de-escalate, and provide consequences for the other 20% of misbehaviors that cannot be prevented in today's school climate. Ryan will also discuss the first step in a three-step process that will reduce office referrals, make teachers happier, and administrators more appreciated.
