4. Step-by-Step Procedure

Phase 1: Initial Observation and Documentation

• Observe and document the specific behavior, time, and location in [System Name].
• Verify if the behavior is a recurring pattern or an isolated incident.
• Complete the [Incident Report Form #__________] within [Number] hours of the occurrence.
• Notify [Department Head/Supervisor] if the situation involves immediate safety risks.

Phase 2: Tier 1 Intervention (Classroom Level)

• Implement [Specific Classroom Strategy] (e.g., proximity control, verbal redirection).
• Hold a private, restorative conversation with the student regarding expectations.
• Document the intervention outcome in [System Name].
• Contact [Parent/Guardian] via [Communication Channel] to inform them of the incident and the classroom-level resolution.

Phase 3: Tier 2 Intervention (Targeted Support)

• Schedule a meeting with the [Support Team] to review data trends.
• Develop a [Behavioral Contract/Support Plan] for the student.
• Assign a [Mentor/Advisor Name] to provide check-in/check-out support.

• Update the [Student Record] with the agreed-upon formal support plan.

5. Quality Assurance and Pro-Tips

• QA: Ensure all entries are objective, descriptive, and avoid subjective labeling (e.g., use "student threw a pencil" instead of "student was being disruptive").
• Pro-Tip: Always document the "antecedent"—what happened immediately before the behavior—to identify triggers.
• Common Pitfall: Failing to maintain consistent communication with families often leads to escalated conflict. Ensure the parent/guardian is a partner in the process.

6. FAQs

Q: How do I know when a behavior requires immediate escalation? A: If the behavior involves physical violence, possession of prohibited items, or severe harassment as defined in the [Student Handbook], bypass Tier 1/2 and move directly to [Emergency Protocol].

Q: Where should sensitive behavioral data be stored? A: All documentation must be stored in the encrypted [Student Information System]. Physical copies must be kept in a locked filing cabinet within the [Authorized Office].
