Assess need for school-wide behavior plan Involve a variety of constituents in planning Pilot program Inform parents Create reasonable workable documents Use follow-through Other thoughts:

- Welcome mistakes- Potential to replace punishments with information and opportunities for learning from mistakes- Desire for students to feel belonging, significance, and ownership in school
