Consequences – Leveled Hierarchies
Using Leveled Consequence Hierarchies, instead of lock-step hierarchies, provides teachers with maximum flexibility in choosing the right consequences to fit each unique behavioral interaction. It also provides a guide for how to appropriately escalate a student’s choices, in order to deescalate confrontations.
