Developing the Behavior Education Plan

  • Board started the process and created the ad

hoc committee on September 16

  • Series of eight focus groups
  • Survey to all MMSD families
  • Input from principals, teachers, families,

students, community leaders collected

  • Guidance from national expert and other

urban districts

Guiding Principles

  • We are grounded in a strong focus on

engagement and learning.

  • Whenever possible, we avoid exclusionary

practices.

  • We believe in teaching and intervention over

consequences and punishment.

  • We support progressive discipline, not zero

tolerance.

Guiding Principles

  • We believe that strong school-family partnerships

are important.

  • We will use disaggregated data to identify

disparities, monitor progress and drive decisions.

  • We believe that every child, when provided with

appropriate support, can learn and succeed.

  • We support proactive problem-solving on behalf
  • f students.

Overview of Behavior Education Plan

  • Teaching and learning model rather than rules

and consequences model

  • Plan outlines interventions rather than only

disciplinary consequences

  • Discipline must be paired with

interventions

  • Progressive discipline
  • Always start at the lowest level and

increase interventions as necessary

Overview of Behavior Education Plan

  • Decrease exclusionary practices
  • Suspension no longer allowed for response

levels one and two

  • Use of school suspension dramatically

decreased – by 20 violations in elementary, 10 in secondary

  • Elimination of aggravating factors
  • Increased use of restorative practices

Overview of Behavior Education Plan

  • Parents included as partners at problem-

solving table

  • Plan requires staff to contact parents

immediately if a suspension occurs, within 24 hours if there is no suspension

  • Plan requires regular data analysis and

problem-solving by school teams and central

Implementation

  • Integrating BEP into School Improvement Plans
  • Goals and measures around behavior in

climate and culture section

  • BEP toolkit
  • Focus on professional development
  • Regular data monitoring, adjustments as

needed

  • BEP coordinator to work with schools

Intensive Support

Like in our school support system, some schools will require intensive support in implementation:

  • Funding or seats at professional development on classroom

management

  • Additional PBS support through increased internal coach or

consultation with external coach

  • Additional psychologist, social worker to provide tier two or

three interventions

  • Additional support for restorative practices

Through school improvement planning process, SBLTs and principals work to identify what would best support implementation in their school.
