IRIS Module II:
Addressing Disruptive and Non-Compliant Behaviors (Part 1): Understanding the Acting-Out Cycle

Although not discussed explicitly in the module, can you think of three methods by which Ms. Rollison could determine his triggers? (3 points)
Ms. Rollison is also having trouble with Tameka, who refuses to do any written work. In this case, Ms. Rollison does have enough information to figure out what Tameka’s trigger is. What is it? (2 points)
