With the current provincial government intent on making changes to education in Manitoba, teachers need to know how this will affect their classrooms. It is today's reality that programs directed at managing student behaviour are being closed. Without these programs, classroom teachers will need to use several strategies to support a greater range of student behaviour. Proactive measures can meet the needs of students with Emotional Behaviour Disorders (EBD) by minimizing conflicts and by providing routine and structure. Reactive measures are vital in establishing expectations for students re-entering mainstream classrooms and creating a plan for teachers to follow. The universal school strategies outlined below offer viable whole-school approaches to addressing the behavioural and educational concerns of students.
