Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If your admin team has created discipline procedures for teachers to follow, your team can create a system for addressing student behaviors that are aligned with those procedures, which will justify that you have done everything within your means to assist the student. My admin team created a six step process that we must go through before writing a referral. If the six step process is not followed, then they kick the referral back to us. It can be frustrating, however, it does cover all angles of the discipline process, and it leaves noting to be questioned by parents or district officials. What my team and I decided to do was create a system showed our efforts in working with the student, communicating with the parent, and doing all that we could do to help the student manage their behavior. Below is our system: First Offense - Student-teacher conference and parent phone call. Second Offense - Silent Lunch and parent phone call Third Offense - Parent-teacher conference and silent lunch. Fourth Offense - Counselor referral. Fifth Offense - Detention and parent phone call. Sixth Offense - In-team suspension and parent phone call. At this step, the parent is notified that the student will receive a discipline referral the next time he/she has a behaviorally problem. Using this system, we have gained much support from our admin team.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree.
