Behavior System

Assumption Catholic School2014-2015

EducatorsHandbook.com• Why the change?

• After hearing from parents and teachers in regards to our NOC program we knew a change needed to be made in our discipline system.

• After visiting another school in the Diocese that uses the Educator’s Handbook and hearing their positive feedback we decided to purchase the system for our school.

• What are the benefits?• This program ties in with our School Improvement Plan• Tracks referrals electronically, graphs and analyzes data, allows for

easy documentation and communication with parents• Enables us to pinpoint when and where inappropriate behavior is

occurring so we can attempt to target the problems and correct them as soon as possible
