  For the student displaying severe problem behavior, the principal should be part of the intervention team. The team (teacher, parent, counselor, special teachers) should decide together what is in the best interest of the student. And, together, the team should implement the plan. This should be a clear and consistent plan, collaboratively designed, to change, not just punish, a student's inappropriate e behavior.

     Students whose behavior is harmful or dangerous must be referred to the principal immediately: anyone assaulting another student, anyone who has been seen stealing from another student by the teacher, possesses a weapon, or possesses drugs or alcohol. These offenses are not only serious, they are illegal. The principal needs to be involved, especially if it may become necessary to call police or social service agencies. Use of the office for severe discipline problems should be part of a school-wide discipline plan and the types of behaviors that are to be referred should be explicitly identified.

     Beyond the above examples, principals and counselors can be advisors to the teacher in the area of discipline. They can assist teachers to devise a plan; they can meet with the teacher and the parents, or with the teacher and the student. But, it should be apparent to all that teacher is the authority. Reiterating that is not serving anyone well, especially the student.
