The Teacher Removal Workbook
14 pages. Every step on paper, in order. Print it, write in your dates and names, and keep it with your records. When a step needs a letter, the page gives you a short web address and a code to scan.
What's inside
- How to use it, and a page for your key people: principal, behavior coordinator, district.
- Step 1: Does the law fit? The three reasons, word for word, and when removal is required.
- Step 2: Keep a record. How to write an incident, a "what I've tried" table, and three pages of incident log to copy as often as you need. Rather type? Record an incident online, one page each.
- Step 3: Tell your principal first, if you choose to.
- Step 4: Make the removal, with a box to count your three class days.
- Step 5: Waiting on the school. "If this happens, get this letter," for every common problem.
- Step 6: The conference, with a checklist and a page for notes.
- Step 7: After the conference, your decision, and the three conditions for a return without your consent.
- If the school ignores the law, step by step, and what protects you.
