Behavioral Counseling Center

The mission of the Behavioral Counseling Center (BCC) is to provide a safe, contained area for children who are experiencing difficulties with following behavioral expectations in the classroom. Specifically, the BCC provides time-out from the reinforcing properties of the classroom and school communities for various disruptive behaviors including behavioral outbursts, verbal abuse, threatening, and other unsafe behaviors, i.e., physical aggression, and location violations.

.

BCC staff are well-versed in the various behavioral expectations, potential violations and their consequences. They must also possess a working knowledge of the components of successful behavior management/modification and are therefore able to diffuse potentially volatile situations, contain escalations, and promote calming and regrouping for swift re-entry into the classroom.
