BIST TIP
# 10
Unlike when we were in school, if a student said or did something hurtful or disruptive, they were sent directly to the principal's office. We are trying to empower kids to deal with their problems, not expecting the principal to be the only problem-solver. BIST has a series of steps that are typically followed if the misbehavior continues. The steps are in this order: redirect, safe seat in student's classroom, safe seat in another classroom, recovery room, principal's office and then possibly being sent home. The sequence of these steps is followed when a child is moving out of the classroom and returning to the classroom. According to the student's misbehavior, some of the steps may be skipped if necessary.
