What behaviour management strategies do you use with the students with special needs?
We have a really strong behaviour intervention program here for all the students. For some of the students, we write behaviour plans where we look at factual analysis of behaviour, and we then build our strategies on that. We also have a crisis response team that we call the STAT team for the Student Teacher Assistants Team. It’s in place so that anytime a teacher feels that either they or the student needs a break, they can contact the office. We will then have people who are fairly well trained in de-escalating situations respond, and get the student back to class quickly and functionally. We also do a lot of proactive teaching around appropriate behaviour, and a little over half of the school is involved in Circle of Friends. We go into the classroom and conduct class meetings. We work on appropriate teaching skills, and appropriate learning skills. The students learn how they can teach each other as well as how they can learn from each other. They would also learn about eye message
