4. Data Collection Data should drive all decision making! How do you decide what data to collect? – Referrals – Tardies to class/school What to do with the data? – Committee – Faculty – Provide Positive Reinforcers

5. Staff Involvement Let your staff help in deciding what the behavior focus should be. In my experience, this has helped in the reinforcement of the decisions that are made by the committee. Participate in the development of the discipline flow chart.
