Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Three different levels of intervention are appropriate for different types of students. All students benefit from the first level, creating a nonviolent school environment. Such an effort (which must be maintained on a long-term basis) includes a schoolwide commitment to supporting all students' academic and social success, caring and dependable faculty-student relationships, equal respect for students of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, clear guidelines for behavior, student participation in decision making, opportunities for students to communicate their concerns without fear of reprisal, and so on.
The second level, early intervention, is appropriate for the 10 to 15 of students who may be at risk for social failure. Such intervention must be tailored to students' individual needs; for instance, it might include social skills training, systematic efforts to encourage and reinforce productive behaviors, and the like.
The third level, intensive intervention for students in trouble, is appropriate for a small minority of students who may be predisposed to be aggressive and violent (e.g., students with serious mental illness and those with a long history of violent behavior). Such intervention typically requires close collaboration with other agencies (e.g., mental health clinics, probation departments, social services).
