Student Engagement Strategies: Reducing Exclusionary Discipline & Reducing Dropouts
Please enter the following information before accessing resources on our site. Thank you.
I have a student who is loud and defiant in classes, and has been placed in more restrictive settings in order to reduce attention-seeking behaviors and disruption to peers. He responds well to a token economy and behavior-specific praise, but it’s difficult to get his gen ed teachers to use these methods, when it’s easier to send him to the hallway or office. How can I get his general ed instructors to use more positive methods to reinforce his good behaviors?
Often times, the teachers/ special educators are on board with using strategies & techniques: at the high school level, how would you suggest getting “buy in” from administration, parents & Community Resource Officers?
