What if the prompt/cue doesn’t work? If a student continues to interfere, then that student will be asked the four questions by the teachers and notified they have been given “Notice 1”.

Four Questions for Misbehavior What are you doing? What are you supposed to be doing? Are you doing it? What are you going to do about it? “You understand, you have now been given notice 1.”

Four Questions for Disrespect Excuse me, whom are you talking to? How should you be talking to me? Were you doing it? So, how are you going to talk to me? “You understand you have now been given notice 1.”

What happens if a student continues to interfere? If a student continues to interfere with the learning, safety, or well-being of others the teacher will state: “Notice 2 (teacher will state behavior). Please move to ____ (identified area within the learning environment). After 2-3 minutes the teacher will visit with the student and ask: What were you doing? Are you ready to return?

What happens if a student continues to interfere after Notice 2? If a student still interferes after receiving Notice 1 and 2, the teacher will state: “Notice 3, please report to the SRC with this referral.”
