Behavior Management Tool [.2211 - .2239]

Classic View: Behavior > Behavior Management

Search Terms: Behavior Management

The Behavior Management Tool allows users with the appropriate tool rights to manage existing behavior as well as enter new behavior incidents.

Behavior Management Tool

An incident record is made up of 2 parts, the Incident Information, which provides the general information about the behavior incident, and the Events and Participants area, which describes the individual events within the incident and the participants in each event and any assigned resolutions. Information entered in these areas is visible on the student's Behavior tab as described below:

Area

Where information will appear

Incident Information

Visible for all participants.

Event Information

Visible for all participants in that event.

Participant/Resolution Information

Only visible for that participant.

 

For state-linked districts, data only syncs from district to state under the following conditions:

  • An Incident with a state event code mapping (with or without a participant).
  • An Incident with a state resolution code mapping.
  • For BIE only:
    • An Incident with a BIE event code mapping.
    • An Incident with a BIE resolution code mapping.
  • For Maine only:
    • Both the event and resolution have a state code mapping.

When syncing Behavior Resolution data to the state, it does not matter whether the Resolution is linked to an attendance code. Linked Attendance codes should not sync (or attempt to sync) as if they are Behavior Resolution codes.

Manage Submitted Referrals

When a Behavior Referral is submitted, it displays in the Management tool in a status of Submitted. Users can then modify the incident record as desired, including modifying events or participants and assigning resolutions to participants. See the following Incident, Event, Participant and Resolution sections for a description of the fields that appear in each area.

When a referral is submitted, a Process Alerts message and email are sent to the individuals selected in the Notify field. The email is only sent if the recipient has an email address and has 'Staff' marked in the Demographics tab.

When a resolution is entered for a referral and the incident is then marked as complete, if the preference to "Notify the person who enters the referral when a resolution has been assigned." is set to Yes, then both a Process Alerts message and email are sent to the person who submitted the referral. The email is only be sent if the recipient has an email address and has 'Staff' marked in the Demographics tab.

  • Messages are sent ONLY if the Notify the person who enters the referral when a resolution has been assigned is set to Yes.
  • Only one message is sent, regardless of the amount of resolutions associated with the event.
  • If an incident is marked Complete and no resolutions are entered, a message is not sent.
  • If an incident moves from Complete to In-Progress and back to Complete, a message is sent (unless there are no resolutions).

Incident Management Editor

The Incident Management editor lists all behavior incidents for the School and Year selected in the Campus toolbar and filters results based on criteria selected in the Status and Alignment filters. Incidents can be filtered by status and alignment and sorted by any of the column headings. The list is automatically sorted by Date/Time. The fields that appear in this editor are based on values selected for the incident.

When the preference to lock completed incidents is set to Yes, a Locked icon displays for completed incidents aligned to Discipline (this does not affect incidents aligned to Award). Staff can be assigned a specific tool right (called Unlock Incident) that allows the ability to unlock a completed incident, make modifications as needed, and relock the incident.

The Reporter is the individual indicated in the Submitted By field, who submitted the referral or created the incident. Status options are as follows:

  • Montana - all behavior response records are synced.
  • Maine - records are synced as long as the Behavior Response has a state code and is linked to an event and a resolution that also have a state code.
  • BIE - records are synced as long as a BIE Behavior Response code is entered and is linked to an event that also has a BIE event code.
  • South Dakota - records are synced as long as the Behavior Response has a state code and is linked to an event that also has a state code.

See the Localized Behavior Articles for additional information.

If more than one student is associated with the event, and the file was associated with multiple participants, each participant displays a separate Participant Files section.

If the participants are students, files can also be viewed with proper tool rights from the Student Behavior tool (if Digital Repository preferences for that are turned on).

Manage Attached Files

Use the Manage Files button to make any necessary changes with the uploaded files:

  • Click the X next to the file name to remove the file completely. The file is removed once the Save button is chosen (the status column changes from Attached to Remove on Save).
  • Click the X next to the file to set the file to be deleted. The file status will change to Remove on Save and the is deleted upon saving. 
  • Re-select the X button of a file to negate the Remove on Save delete command, and have the file remain.
  • Remove the checkbox selection for alignment with a participant.
  • Upload more files for the selected event.
  • Modify the description of the file as needed.

Save any changes that were made before existing the Manage Files modal.
