1. How should an administrator respond to a teacher who, during the first week of use, refers a student who demonstrates an Intensity I Offense on the Behavioral Matrix to the office? How should an administrator respond to a teacher who continually does this, even after specific feedback and correction?
One of the most important aspects in the learning environment is student discipline through appropriate behaviors. As a result, the Behavioral Matrix has been developed and widely used in learning environments since they specify behavioral expectations for all students within the classroom and school setting. Intensity I Offenses are described as annoying behaviors that teachers can address using minimum intervention or interaction. School administrators play a supporting role to teachers and students in today’s learning environment to help in achievement of learning objectives and establishing a suitable environment for learning. For a teacher who refers a student who demonstrates an Intensity I Offense on the Behavioral Matrix, an administrator can respond by correcting the teacher on how to handle such offenses. For a teacher who continually does this, even after specific correction and feedback, the administrator can respond through recommending training of classroom management and student discipline (Meador, 2017).
2. How can a school’s administration...
While teachers play a crucial role in this process, the school’s administration and discipline committee also has an important role in enhancing student discipline. The administration and discipline committee can achieve this through maximizing the consistent use of the social skills program, the Behavioral Matrix, and the time-out process. One of the ways this can be achieved is for the school administration and discipline committee to utilize a hands-on approach for ensuring these various components are applied by teachers in dealing with behavioral issues in the classroom (Knoff, 2012). Through this, the school administration and discipline committee should regularly assess the use of these components by the entire staff. Secondly, the administration and committee should ensure that these components are incorporated in staff training and development programs. This will help in reinforcing the significance of these measures in handling student discipline and promoting their consistent use in the teaching and learning process.

The goal especially at this Behavior Intensity level is to provide corrective action rather than punitive. This can be initiated by the use of visual or non-verbal prompts, proximity or even a subtle verbal warning. The goal is to alert the student to the 'annoying' behavior and to demonstrate that this behavior won't be accepted without yet resorting to punishment. For the student that insists on either becoming distracted easily
School uniforms in public school has been a subject of national debate. Private and Parochial schools have a long history of school uniforms. Its implementation in public schools has been met with sharp criticism, it came to gain momentum in the late 1980's and it has been increasing steadily throughout the years. In some past few years the subject has gotten various boosts. The biggest boost was when in January
Additional arguments against school uniforms are the violation of free expression and students' rights and the stifling of student individuality (Schachter 48-49; Wilkins 22). These arguments for and against school uniforms do not have enough sway to decide the point alone. If research implied a link to academic or behavioral changes one way or the other, it is likely that such minor matters would fall in line or become only

And when the parent comes to an event held in the classroom, it makes good sense to have interpreters available, and "invite the extended family," which of course is a very welcoming act of kindness and good judgment. The other parent in this list of "types" is the "Busy Parent," who is a person with a work schedule that is hard to get a hold of, or plan meetings
Student Affairs as Both A Field of Study and a Profession What is Student Affairs? Tyrell (2014) believes student affairs professionals have a continually expanding and evolving role in community colleges, with recognition of increasingly complex student experiences and with broadening of community colleges' role in the way students are engaged outside of and within formal, institutional settings. The student affairs domain is an extensive and complex part of college campus operations, covering
