Schoolwide Behavior Systems Toolkit

Need Help?

When every classroom handles behavior differently, discipline

lands on YOUR desk.

When teachers aren’t sure what they should handle themselves,

too many behavior issues end up with you.

Use one focused leadership-team session to get everyone clearer on what happens in the classroom, what comes to admin, how expectations are taught, and what your school will do consistently from here.

The presentation, facilitator agenda, planning tools, and editable discipline flow charts are already built. You bring your team and your school’s data.

INTRODUCING

The Schoolwide Behavior Systems Toolkit

Create clearer expectations. Build more consistent adult responses. Protect more learning time.

When teachers aren’t sure what they should handle, behavior issues pile up fast.

Students get mixed messages. Office referrals increase. And APs and principals spend more of the day managing problems that a clearer schoolwide system could help prevent.

The Schoolwide Behavior Systems Toolkit gives your leadership team a ready-to-use process for fixing that.

In one focused three-hour planning session,

your team will review discipline patterns, clarify expectations, and get more consistent about how adults respond to behavior.

The agenda, presentation, planning tools, and discipline flow charts are already built.

You bring your team and your school’s data. We give you the process.

This is probably overdue at your school if…

One teacher sends a behavior to the office that another teacher handles without involving admin.

Teachers regularly ask for more support with behaviors.

Students get noticeably different responses depending on which adult is involved.

Your leadership team keeps saying you need clearer behavior expectations, but nobody has had time to build the meeting, slides, activities, flow charts, and rollout plan.

Discipline data tells you certain locations, routines, or behaviors are a problem, but your team hasn’t turned that data into an actual plan yet.

You’re tired of solving the same behavior problems student by student when the bigger issue is how the system works.

What is included?

Ready-to-Facilitate Schoolwide Behavior Expectations Presentation

Instead of spending hours creating a leadership agenda, presentation, discussion protocols, behavior matrix, flow charts, and implementation plan, start with the pieces already built.

Open the files. Add your school-specific information.

Bring your discipline data. Facilitate the session.

Detailed Editable Facilitator Agenda

A step-by-step guide that includes:

Session preparation
Suggested materials
Research-based design principles
Timed activities and protocols
Guiding questions
Facilitator notes
Decision points
A final implementation checklist
A Campus Expectations Matrix drafting tool

Participant Agenda

A clear working agenda participants can use throughout the session to follow the process, record decisions, and contribute to the final Campus Expectations Matrix.

Editable Discipline Flow Charts for

Each Level (EL - MS - HS)

Elementary Discipline Flow Chart

A practical starting point for clarifying elementary behaviors that are typically managed by teachers and staff and behaviors that require administrative support.

Middle School Discipline Flow Chart

A developmentally appropriate middle school resource that helps teams distinguish everyday classroom concerns from serious, repeated, or escalating behaviors.

High School Discipline Flow Chart

A secondary-focused flow chart that helps staff respond more consistently to common classroom concerns, technology issues, defiance, safety concerns, and other major behaviors.

Three hours later,

your team has

something to work from.

Not another meeting where everyone talks about behavior for 90 minutes and leaves agreeing that “we need to be more consistent."

Your team leaves with a working draft of…

Three to five positively stated schoolwide expectations
Student-friendly definitions
Observable behaviors for important locations and routines
Clearer agreement about staff-managed and administration-managed behavior
Identified adult actions and supports
Next steps for staff feedback, student teaching, rollout, and follow-up
A timeline for reviewing discipline data after implementation

The goal is not to create a perfect poster in one meeting.

The goal is to help your team make clear decisions, establish shared language, and build a behavior system that can be taught, reinforced, monitored, and improved over time.

Why This Work Matters

Students are more likely to meet expectations when those expectations are clear, observable, taught, practiced, and reinforced.

Teachers are better supported when they understand which behaviors they are expected to address and when administrative involvement is needed.

Principals regain valuable time when the campus has stronger routines, shared language, and a more consistent response process.

This toolkit helps you move beyond reacting to individual behavior incidents and begin strengthening the systems behind them.

Important note

Every school and district has its own student code of conduct, board policies, legal requirements, reporting procedures, and administrative expectations. The discipline flow charts are designed as customizable planning resources and should be reviewed and adapted before use.
