Reducing Office Referrals: Steps for Principals and Admins, Part 1

Are your teachers sending students to your 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 as he explains how you can empower your teachers with common practices that prevent 80% of the misbehaviors that occur in most classrooms. He will also address how you can teach them to respond to, de-escalate, and provide consequences for the 20% of misbehaviors that cannot be prevented in today's school climate. Ryan will share how to implement a 3-step process that reduces office referrals, makes teachers happier, and Administrators more appreciated. In Part 1 of this 2-part series, Ryan will discuss the first step in the process, forming a proactive behavior support team. He will explain the logistics of assembling your "behavior leaders," who will help to develop a culture of empowerment with your staff.
