We use social thinking as a way to help children understand expectations. When unexpected behavior occurs, this is how we work with learners to improve and return to the classroom when they're ready.

When Unexpected Behavior Occurs...

1. Reminder - My teacher will give me a reminder of what the expected behavior is.

I will make the choice to follow directions so we may continue to learn. 

2. Reset - When a reminder doesn't work, my teacher will ask me to go reset.

At reset, I will get myself back in the green zone and display expected behaviors.

3. Buddy Teacher - When a reminder and a chance to reset doesn't help me get back in the green zone, my teacher will ask me to go to buddy teacher.

At buddy teacher, I will think about the choices I made and figure out how to get back in the green zone so I can continue to learn.

These steps will help everyone in my class learn.
