YES!

We have in the past used a Behavior Intervention Plan to specify how teachers should respond to what they viewed as problem behaviors. That form literally allows you to describe problem situations and specify the correct response to those situations-- what may or may not be done.

It doesn't solve all the problems, but it is useful for everyone to agree on the boundaries and strategies far in advance of the inevitable incidents.
