In general, teachers and student work together to co-create reasonable common expectations for their classes. If students are not, for whatever reason, able to meet these expectations teachers will meet with students individually to come up with a plan for moving forward in a positive way. Depending on the frequency or severity, teachers may also involve parents, the counsellor, and/or school administrators to assist in planning and support for the student.

Here is an example of a co-created expectations for Grade 8-12 students:
