BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM/CRISIS INTERVENTION

The school wide behavior management program currently in place is as follows; when a behavior that interferes with the learning of others is demonstrated, a reminder of classroom expectations is given. If problem behavior continues and/or increases, a time-out will be given with the Behavior Intervention Specialist. After a period of processing, permission will be given to return to class. If a student is disruptive, unresponsive to interventions, and/or posing a threat to him/herself or others, parent or Montville Police will be notified to remove student from school if necessary. An additional intervention, FOCUS*, may be scheduled.

Palmer Academy behavior intervention specialist assists students in developing insight and a solution to the conflict. The goal is to have students take responsibility for their behavior, develop problem solving strategies and make productive use of voluntary time out.
