  • Turnaround 4C Plan Tools: Discipline Matrix
    Sep 24 2024

    The Discipline Matrix is a progressive disciplinary model to be used by staff that brings consistency to student consequences for minor behavior infractions. Teachers are empowered to address student behavior issues before it moves to administration. It identifies inappropriate student behaviors and provides consequences for their actions but also allows fairness in providing students opportunities to make informed decisions.

    When implemented with fidelity and consistency, school climate becomes more positive and the culture of student learning is enhanced.
