▪ Consequences should be handled with positive reinforcement in place of
punishment strategies
▪ Students reporting behavior must have clear expectation on adult response and

someone will continue to behave inappropriately toward them. When that happens,
students should "talk" to an adult.” ( Ross , 2010) 12
