• The school discipline system being used at Gresham is strict and they follow it very closely. If there are minor infractions like classroom disturbances, harassment, horseplay, public displays of affection, etc. the student will first get a verbal warning. Then a teacher will write a discipline referral note that must go home with them for their parents/guardians to sign. In this situation the student may also get in-team isolation.

The special education teachers follow a different behavior management system. A student in a special education classroom may earn 0-100 block points per day.

Some of the questions she asked me Anthony knew the answer so he would explain it to her without actually giving her the answer.
• I think I reacted well to their negative behavior by redirecting him to help her instead of doing it for her. When looking at their postitive behaviors, I was really excited to see him prompting
