Minor and major behaviors are often distinguished based on their severity and impact on the learning or working environment. Here’s a general differentiation between the two types of behaviors:
Minor behaviors are generally less disruptive or harmful and have a limited impact on the environment. While these behaviors can momentarily disrupt focus or attention, they typically do not significantly impede the learning or working process for an extended period. They are typically managed in the classroom or environment in which they occurred by the staff supervising that environment and supported by the building’s administration team as needed.
Major behaviors are more severe, disruptive, or potentially harmful and significantly impact the learning or working environment, causing distress or a halt to the educational process. They require immediate attention and intervention. These behaviors are managed at the office level by the building administration’s team, who may consult with Student Services or Special Education Department for guidance or an alternate response.
