Planning Room

For CDC and High School Students & Parents
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:
 
positive behavioral changes in students The behavior needing to be changed will be identified.
positive behavioral changes in students The student will identify positive consequences of changing the behavior.
positive behavioral changes in students The student will identify negative consequences of continuing the negative behavior.
positive behavioral changes in students The student will develop plans and/or identify strategies for replacing the negative behavior with a positive behavior.
positive behavioral changes in students The student will remain there until released by planning room personnel.
positive behavioral changes in students The student will return to the class where the problem occurred only after the student’s plan is approved by the classroom teacher.
