  Case: Inappropriate Language in class
In your class, a student calls another student an inappropriate name. This behavior has occurred in the past and it is time to make the contact home. How would you approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would call the parents to inform them of their child's behavior. I would explain that it is reoccurring, and I would ask them if this is a behavior that occurs at or is tolerated at home. I have been keeping track of the behavior, documenting the amount of times the behavior occurs and the dates and times of the occurrences. I have discussed this with his elective teachers, and asked them to keep track of the behavior as well. I have asked the Behavior Specialist to come and observe the class. I have provided the student with consequences for his negative behavior, such as moving his clip and writing an apology letter to the students he directed inappropriate language towards. I will explain to the parents that this behavior is not tolerated in the classroom or the school. I will suggest we have a conference to discuss other possible solutions to this problem. I will tell the parents that having them involved with this situation, might be what their child needs in order to stop the behavior. I will inform them that consequences at home need to be consistent with the consequences in the classroom.
