IASB Convention 2024

Across the state, districts have seen a sharp rise in mental illness, diverse philosophies regarding behavior among staff and community, and inequitable disciplinary practices that make this work more important than ever. During the 2019–2020 school year, College Community Schools set out on a year-long project to develop a consistent response to challenging behavior across the district. The product of this work was a matrix that clearly defines behavior incident types, outlines both required and optional ways to respond to behavior incidents, and establishes a common language districtwide. College Community Schools will not only walk you through how they launched their districtwide behavior prevention and response plan, but will demonstrate how this matrix has made a positive impact on student behavior after five years!
