What is a disruption?
A student’s behaviour that disrupts the learning process.
What are the 2 rules regarding disruptions and the ABCD system?
- Rule 1: THREE BEFORE B = Because the Breaking the Rules category is too broad and can include too many things, disruptions should be classified in the 3 other categories before using this category. It is only a last resort in case a disruption cannot be put in any other category.- Rule 2: AGGRESSION TOWARD THE TEACHER = CONFRONTATION = This means that any behaviour that can be classified under Aggression but is aimed at the teacher should be classified under Confrontation.
