Secondary (7th to 12th) Student Behavior Institute

The Don’t Kick Them Out (7th to 12th Grade) Student Behavior Institute is the last level of defense and of teaching appropriate conduct. The core of the program involves helping teachers support youth in learning to read, control themselves, and follow instructions. At this level, we help high school staff members develop patience and understanding of the traumas and the referrals that create the most common conflicts among high school students. The best approach to negative behavior is always being aware of teacher burn-out— understanding teachers’ personalities and which ones might come into conflict with students’. The focus is on helping staff members maintain effective levels of teamwork and mutual support. Consistency at this level is vital to the success of the program. We deal in detail with the 21 dos and don’ts of resolving disruptive behavior in the classroom.
