Description
Create a clearer, more consistent process for student breaks so staff know when breaks are appropriate, how they should be supervised, and how students return to instruction. This toolkit gives secondary schools a practical structure for managing breaks without turning them into open-ended avoidance, inconsistent privileges, or repeated staff negotiations.
Use it to define when a break may be used, how long it lasts, where it occurs, what supervision is required, what staff should say, and what the student is expected to do when the break ends. Clear procedures help prevent breaks from becoming an escape from work while still allowing schools to provide structured support when a student genuinely needs a brief reset.
