Discipline Updates

David's law

David's law Explained

• Effective Sept. 1, 2017, David’s Law addresses the need for Texas laws to keep pace with evolving technology. It requires school districts to include cyberbullying in their district bullying policies and notify a child’s parents if he or she is a victim or alleged aggressor of bullying. The law allows schools to combat and prevent cyberbullying by investigating off campus cyber-assisted bullying if it materially affects the school environment. It provides for schools to collaborate with law enforcement when serious or life-threatening cyberbullying situations arise. In recognition of bullying as a mental health issue, David’s Law encourages schools to invest in counseling and rehabilitation services for both victims and aggressors of bullying.

Behavior RTI

• Changing the function of a behavior takes time. At least 6-8 weeks
• The most impact on students for changing behavior is creating a relationship with your students….. Hattie says it has a .73 impact on student achievement
• Tell the students your unwritten rules… Have a clue for students so they knew what to do. "When I come to school and you see me put on this tie, it means that I am having a bad day or I am not feeling well. When this happens, it will no longer be a 3 strike and you’re out day. It will be a 1 strike and you’re out kind of day."
• No dead man rules
• All behaviors are associated with Functions, not with behavior goals § Gain attention § Escape § Communication
• Rules must be explicitly taught to students so they know expectations
• Implement Brain Breaks: 1 min of physical activity gives 10 min of academic time

Next Steps for SCUC ISD

• 1. Curriculum to teach Social and Emotional learning 2. Screener/ Rating scale for behavior 3. Get Right- TIER 1
