Prevention and Intervention Tips

Tips for Prevention

• Establish clear expectations for classroom behavior
• Identify specific academic guidelines and grading criteria
• Set up means for routine communication, such as email
• Get to know your students

Tips For Possible Intervention

• Address the student directly/privately about your observations or concerns
• Address behavior, not character
• If emotional distress is evident, consider calling or walking student to Counseling Services
• Consider non-counseling referrals, such as Student Health Services
• Consult a member of the Student Intervention Team for information & support with the student present

Your expression of concern may provide students the motivation they need to seek needed help or services.
