In the future, I will use referrals in my classroom when a student is being blatantly deviant and I have exhausted everything in my power to try and contain the situation myself. I will also use referrals when a student hurts another student. To me, referrals are the last form of discipline. These are not something to be taken lightly and since they require the assistance from either the Principal or Assistant Principal, I will only use them if/when needed.
During my time as a Physical Education Paraprofessional, I have had to write referrals of my own. When writing referrals, it is always important to remember to only use the students’ name that is being written up. This is necessary because referrals get sent home as well as put
2.2 The teacher would need to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others in the ground rules. Although this is not always adhered to by learners the teacher would make clear to the individual that inappropriate behaviour would not be tolerated and ask them to remain quiet or leave the session depending on the severity of the behaviour. Distractions from learners has the potential to distract others, therefore wasting time and potentially leading to the early commencement of the session.
Ronald Morrish notes that, “we have to teach students how to behave properly because many of them do not learn how to do so at home” (Charles, 2014, p. 72). This means as educators, it then becomes our duty to not only foster a supportive environment, but also teach students about self-control as well; which goes hand-in-hand with Morrish’s phase theory of “Managing Student Choice” (p. 81). Establishing authority is extremely important in this case, meaning that the teacher must be consistent with their disciplinary actions and use this opportunity to produce desirable results. For example, Chris and his teacher can review homework assignments together and go over questions that Chris might struggle
However there are also instances where a pupil’s inappropriate behaviour needs to be referred on to someone else.
Intervention: MHS reviewed the previous session. MHS discussed with client about her disrespectful behavior at school. The client’s teacher reported the client has not been doing her work and she has been being very disrespect to adults at school. MHS explained to the client that she will have to learn how to have respect adult at home and at school. MHS discussed listening and obeying and following the rules without any negative behaviors like talking back to teachers and school workers. MHS explained how people don't like to be around rude and disrespectful children and her behavior can be affecting her grades
People get access to services through referrals. This is where Mary gets access to the services she needs by being in contact with the service. This can be done in three different ways. Self referral: When Mary got in contact herself with a service herself an example of this is when she rang the opticians and the receptionist answered she then made an appointment for Mary to have an optician look and here eyes and check for any signs of problems with her eyes which then resulted in her needing glassesProfessional Referral: Is when a professional service gets in contact with another professional to give the best treatment to Mary. Mary got professionally referred by her GP to the Hospital when she went to see them about her regular
Chapter Three, entitled Bribes and Threats, from Beyond Discipline discussed many different tools such as coercion, punishment, and rewards being used for disciplining. These specific tools are counterintuitive and result in temporary compliance or even sometimes extreme behaviors. Because of these tools being used, it leads to disastrous outcomes and makes the teachers and schools uninviting and unproductive.
The concerns and in effect cause the staff and committee to dig deeper into the understanding not only the prose, but also the cons of our current PBIS program and its effectiveness in lessening office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions. The data collection for referral information I am expecting to be very easily done. Our corporation uses a school management program called the AS400. This program has the ability to run a report on discipline, attendance, grades, and almost any other information that may need to be looked up regarding a student. The referral data is entered into a program and a report is saved in the AS400 where it is saved to the student record. Data entry reports can be ran and printed on selected information, including all of those just mentioned previously. With this being said, I will understandably be using quantitative research to complete my project. This was chosen because the hard number data I felt is one of the best ways to show effectiveness of PBIS on office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions. As I will be using graphs and charts to present my data, the use of quantitative research as the best method for my research is also

According to nspcc (2017) "A referral is a appeal from a member of the public or a professional to the local authority child protection team or the police to intervene to support or protect a child." For a referral to be done correctly there are steps to follow , for example if a professional has concerns about a child's welfare , He/she must discuss with manager and / or agency's nominated safeguarding advisor including consideration of seeking parental consent .
There are many challenges that are defining the future strategic direction of health care such as information technology advancements, access to health care, maintaining a skilled workforce, proposed health care reform and legislation, and rising costs. I will look at these challenges and how an organization may adapt its direction and strategies in accordance with these challenges.
It is part of our policy that we do not contact the pt, we are required to have a referral source and the referral source relays the information to the pt. I will update you on any information I have gathered from the unit. I’m not sure where the records came from either but they were sent to me today. I will call other units that you mentioned to see if we can get the pt in earlier, and I will be waiting for the new records.
Further, the referral system is a way to collect and use data to provide a safe learning environment. When students with disruptive behaviors are referred early then administration can use this data to plan appropriate interventions and monitor these children so they can obtain maximum benefit from the teaching/learning environment. The referral data can also serve as an instrument that evaluates the success of this intervention plan. As a result, the referral system data can be used to reform school policies – a school wide intervention - thus creating a school environment which not only caters to academic needs but also to the social and emotional well-being of the population that it serves.
Also when you ask somebody to write a reference you cannot write it yourself and expect someone to put their name on it. The person who sign the letter does not want to put their name on something they did not write themselves.
The third tier is always documented. The third tier referral is a much bigger deal. A teacher should immediately get involved with the situation. Examples of third tier behavior are, getting in fights, bullying, and threats. Some consequences for third tier behavior are,suspension, mandatory oat, and expulsion.
When implementing a discipline program, it is important that a teacher identify the difference between misbehavior and off task behavior. Misbehavior is a more serious action and should be treated accordingly. Misbehavior includes actions that are pre-meditated, habitual, unsafe, or demeaning. Off-task behavior includes actions like, talking out of turn or with other students, doing activities other than what the teacher has assigned, and lack of following instructions. While both types of behavior cause unwanted classroom distraction and should not be tolerated, there is an important difference between the two that must be identified. In the case of off-task behavior, the strategy to guide the student back on-task may require imposing a consequence as well as making an adjustment to the classroom management plan in order to re-route the student. In the case of misbehavior, imposing a consequence along with the addition of recruiting support from parents or administration may be needed to retrain the behavior.(Ross, 2009)
