6.3 (6K7B): Understanding of the district-building behavior management plans for students.

Introduction

As you have seen from previous units, behavior management strategies can be implemented to increase desirable behaviors and to decrease inappropriate behaviors. In some school districts, behavior management plans are put into place for all of the schools within that district. These procedures may be somewhat modified depending on the age and grade levels of the various schools. However, a uniform policy may be adopted for the entire school district. This is the ideal situation in each school. Staff need to examine their own schools policies as well as the districts discipline policies.
