Discipline is a classroom management issue.
Teachers are responsible for discipline.
Discipline referrals are not tools that manage
discipline.
Must be a process of intervention before a referral
can be written.
All referrals have a section identified as “prior
action taken by teacher.”
Discipline Protocols
 Before a referral can be accepted in the front
office, it must go through the intervention
process.
Discipline Protocols
 Question 1: What have you (the teacher ) done
prior to writing a referral?
 Question 2: What documentation do you have to
support a referral being sent to the office?
