Promoting Respectful and Responsible Behavior in Schools

Overview:

Refusal to follow directions is a form of defiance. Arizona law 15-841 states that students may be expelled for continued defiance in the form of disruptive or disorderly behaviors that interfere with the educational environment. Schools have policies in place for how they will deal with repeated offenders. This academy will provide participants with lessons that will help students understand their role in creating a peaceful environment. Lessons will cover safe and correct actions towards teachers, and support staff such as cafeteria workers, bus drivers, crossing guards, and teacher assistants, as well as the importance of following directions during safety drills. Students will learn strategies to address conflicts and regulate their frustrations.
