The Supportive Classroom

The Supportive Classroom curriculum was developed at the University of Vermont. The blog and podcast are used to share the ideas and accomplishments of schools that are implementing the Supportive Classroom. The Core Concepts of Belonging, Trust, Sharing and Respect form the foundation of the curriculum.


Identifying the Communication of Behavior

Posted on December 8, 2005

During today's podcast I discussed developing Student Success Plans for students with challenging behavior. One of the tools from the Suportive Classroom manual that I talked about is the set of forms for helping the team decide what the student is communicating through his or her behavior. The six categories of communication include:

1. To Get Attention
2. To Get Control / To Get Something
3. To Escape or Avoid a Situation
4. To Get Revenge
5. To Have Fun - Play
6. Self-Regulation
