What is the process and space expectation in each classroom for students to use to cool down, refocus their energy, be retaught an expectation and accept a consequence?
o All instructional spaces must have a cool down spot within the classroom that has few distractions (materials, other students, etc…)
o Cool down spot should be designated (with a sign) with Control Signals and cool down strategies along with a space to complete a REFOCUS sheet/PATHS-My Problem Page
o Within the classroom, give student enough time to calm down, reflect and become visibly ready to rejoin the group
o Make time to review the REFOCUS sheet/My Problem Page with student
o If student needs to REFOCUS in a buddy teacher’s room, send student with a
destination, time, and initials(signature) on the top of the REFOCUS form/My Problem Page to serve as their pass (Buddy Teacher should be in close proximity- next door or across the hall) Student should REFOCUS for no more than 10 minutes. Buddy teacher will initial and write time on REFOCUS sheet and return student to class
