Discipline Flow Chart
by Chris Whitney
1. Step 1: identify The Problem. What are the behaviors and possible causes for disciplinary action?
2. Step 2: Once behaviors are diagnosed, determine an order of priority for which behaviors need to be dealt with.
3. Step 3: Determine all possible disciplinary actions that have already been taken. It is important to consider what has already been done.
4. Step 4: Determine any long term complications that could be causing the negative behaviors.
5. Step 5: Determine the triggers and reactions for each of the behaviors. What comes before and after every action?
6. Step 6: Determine what is the goal of the negative behavior. Is it for attention?
7. Step 7: Determine the outcome desired. Much like in an IEP make sure to include quantifiable results for recording purposes.
8. Step 8: Create a plan that includes all of these elements: Solutions, Implementation Procedures for the Solution, Who will Implement the Solution and any additional support or information needed.
9. Step 9: Implement the plan keeping in contact with the parents/guardians and record all instances of the behavior. The Behavior plan must be followed.
