Planning Room

The purpose of the CDC planning room is to provide and opportunity for a student to change the behavior that has been disruptive to the learning environment. The planning room is concerned with identifying short-term solutions to behavioral problems. We will encourage students to exercise self-control and to develop good decision-making skills. The planning room is a positive way for students to learn to behave appropriately and effectively within the CDC.

When a student is sent to the planning room, the student will go immediately and independently to the planning room where:

• The behavior needing to be changed will be identified.
• The student will identify positive consequences of changing the behavior.
• The student will identify negative consequences of continuing the negative behavior.
• The student will develop plans and/or identify strategies for replacing the negative behavior with a positive behavior.
• The student will remain there until released by planning room personnel.
• The student will return to the class where the problem occurred only after the student’s plan is approved by the classroom teacher.
