  3. Objective Time-out Tordale • To support students who temporarily cannot participate in class because of their “disruptive” behaviour • To contribute to the quality of living, learning and working in school, both for students and for teachers

  7. Difficulties • Avoiding a crisis is better than solving a crisis! • Structure, clear rules in a positive and safe school climate • A student needs to UNDERSTAND a crisis as a learning moment! • Simplification • Visualisation • Repitition • What about punishment? • Youngsters with persisting behavioural problems

  8. Some concluding remarks • While time-out constitutes a separate entity, it cannot be an island in the school! • We have gone a long way, but still have a long way to go! • SUGGESTIONS and COOPERATION for the guidance of students with (persisting) behavioural and emotional problems are ALWAYS WELCOME!
