Zero tolerance policies
Security guards, student uniforms, metal detectors, surveillance cameras
Suspension / expulsion
Exclusionary options (e.g. alternative programs)

9. Reactive Responses are Predictable
When we experience aversive situations, we select interventions that produce immediate relief by…
Removing students
Removing ourselves
Modifying the physical environment
Assigning responsibility for change to student and/or others

10. Reactive Responses are Predictable
But…false sense of safety and security!
Fosters environment of control
Triggers & reinforces antisocial behavior
Shifts accountability away from school
Devalues child-adult relationship
Weakens relationship between academic & social behavior programming
