Time Out

Time outs are typically known as a method of removing students from the learning setting because their behavior is not consistent with the teacher's expectations. The students need to understand why they're being sent to the chair and what they need to do to get back with the rest of the class. This time should be used to reinforce behavior expectations and make sure that the student knows why they are there and what they need to do to avoid being there again. Although this is mainly an elementary tool, the high school equivalent would be sending the student to the office. They need to understand why and need to be able to correct their own behavior in order to not return there in the future.
