Transform ISS from a punitive consequence into a structured intervention that supports student growth. This resource provides a clear framework for creating a rehabilitative ISS program, including academic support, behavior coaching, social-emotional learning, and structured reentry planning. With best practices, a daily schedule, and implementation strategies, this guide helps schools reduce suspensions, improve student outcomes, and build a more inclusive, supportive discipline system.

This implementation checklist provides a clear, structured roadmap for shifting ISS from a punitive holding space to a restorative, student-centered intervention. It breaks down the key components of an effective ISS program, covering academic continuity, behavior coaching, social-emotional learning, reentry planning, and school-wide alignment. Designed for educators, administrators, and ISS coordinators, this checklist ensures that every aspect of a rehabilitative ISS program is thoughtfully developed and consistently applied. Use this checklist to evaluate your current ISS practices, identify areas for growth, and implement high-impact changes that promote student success.

The Rehabilitative ISS Program Development Guidance Rubrics provide a structured tool for evaluating and improving in-school suspension (ISS) programs. These rubrics help schools identify their current ISS practices, track progress, and implement evidence-based strategies to create a structured, restorative, and student-centered intervention. Covering program foundations, behavioral support, academic continuity, daily structure, reentry planning, and continuous improvement, this resource ensures that ISS is a meaningful opportunity for growth rather than punishment. Use this tool to measure progress, refine interventions, and build a fully rehabilitative ISS program that supports student success.

The Rehabilitative ISS Program Development Guide provides a structured six-phase process for transitioning ISS from a punitive system into a fully rehabilitative intervention that supports student growth, academic engagement, and long-term behavior change. This resource breaks down each phase into Classroom/ISS Implementation milestones and Building Administration Program Development milestones, ensuring that ISS practices are both practical for daily operations and sustainable at the school-wide level.
