Implementation of a progressive discipline approach

System and school
leaders need to identify a range of appropriate actions to be taken, as well
as who will plan and carry out the actions, and what the time frame will be

They also need to plan for ongoing monitoring, reflection, and adjustment,
in order to identify further needed improvements and integrate them into
their implementation processes.

Behaviour is student and situation dependent.
