ADULT ASSISTANCE INTEGRATION
SECTION 2
03 Phase 3: The Adult SOS Assist Protocol
10 Mins
Instructional Objective: Train the student to execute a high-contrast verbal script when seeking help, differentiating it from whiny tattle-telling or aggressive demands.
Using a scripted help-seeking sequence reduces social friction and gives the student a formulaic, structured anchor during high-stress moments.
Adult Backup Steps
Disconnect: Turn away from the peer.
Locate: Walk calmly directly to the teacher.
Deliver SOS: Use the scripted assist code:
"Teacher, I tried to resolve a conflict independently, but it is unresolved and I need backup assistance."
Fidelity Requirement (Adult Action):
When the student delivers the SOS assist script, immediately pause your instruction to provide brief mediation or guidance. Reinforcing this action quickly is critical to solidify help-seeking behaviors.
04 Guided Practice & Simulation Scenarios
10 Mins
Friction A
The student is at the Chromebook station, and a peer cuts in line or takes their pre-selected laptop.
Steps: Try "Please don't cut." -> Peer ignores -> Turn and deliver SOS to teacher.
Friction B
On the playground, a peer says their play in a basketball or soccer game was "out of bounds."
Steps: Suggest re-play -> Peer yells -> Walk immediately to recess monitor and report.
Friction C
A peer keeps tapping the student's desk with their shoe, causing sensory stress.
Steps: Say "Can you stop tapping?" -> Peer laughs -> Stand up, walk to teacher.
Fidelity Coaching Prompt:
Ensure the student physically executes the disconnect action (pivoting their body away from peer). Turning away is the most difficult motor transition; practice it repeatedly in roleplay.

Data Gathering
Connection Logs
Using the Conflict Connection Logs, the teacher will track every conflict event. Compute the weekly success average: SOS Assist Attempts / Total Unresolved Conflicts.
Goal Target (80%)
The objective is met when the student utilizes the Peer Intercept and/or safe Adult SOS sequence in at least 80% of situations where peer friction remains unresolved.
Fidelity Alert: If the student attempts peer-intercept but shouts, score as unsuccessful.
Goal Target: 80%

A. Shout back, snatch the ball, and hit their arm.
B. Turn body away, walk to teacher, say SOS script.
B bypasses the argument loop, securing a safe cockpit rating!

PHYSICAL DISENGAGEMENT & COMPLIANCE
SECTION 2
03 Phase 3: Emergency Escape Routing
10 Mins
Instructional Objective: Establish immediate physical escape paths from common classroom hotspots to prevent physical contact completely.
Aggression occurs when a student feels cornered. Mapping exit routes (e.g. traveling immediately to the Pass Classroom or an adult desk) provides a physical safety valve.
Disengagement Steps
Lock: Execute Pocket Anchors immediately.
Pivot: Face the nearest empty exit path.
Depart: Walk directly to the Pass Classroom.
Anchor: Hand pass to supervisor.
Fidelity Requirement (Teacher Action):
During escape execution, do not restrict the student's movement to demand compliance or arguments. Allow them to walk straight to the Pass Classroom immediately. Safely exit first; correct behaviors later.
04 High-Provocation Simulation Drills
10 Mins
Provocation 1
A peer physically bumps the student in line or stands close in their personal space.
Drill: Step back 2 paces, pocket anchors, quiet exhale.
Provocation 2
A peer calls them an offensive name directly to their face, attempting to provoke a fight.
Drill: Pocket lock, look away, execute immediate walk to teacher desk.
Provocation 3
A peer grabs an assignment or pencil case directly off the student's desk.
Drill: Hands locked, do not snatch back. Stand and walk to the pass room.
Fidelity Coaching Prompt:
Instruct the student: "Losing a pencil is a small glitch. Getting physically suspended for hitting is a massive crash. Protect your cockpit." Praise immediate retreat efforts.
05 Progress Monitoring & Mastery Mechanics
Continuous Data
Daily Self-Regulation Tracker
Student will evaluate their physical safe execution on the Zero Impact Tracker daily. This emphasizes the absolute safety goal.
Goal Target (100% Safety)
The objective is met when the student maintains a 100% non-aggressive safety record during active peer conflicts across the target week.
Fidelity Alert: Any instance of physical contact, hitting, or throwing is marked as unsuccessful.
Goal Target: 100%
CALM CONTROL SEQUENCE — ZERO IMPACT PROTOCOL PAGE 2 OF 2
You feel a massive Level 5 surge of anger and want to strike back. Your personal forcefield is threatened.
Lock Your Controls:
A. Push back and yell, starting a system crash.
B. Hands in pockets, step back, walk to Pass Classroom.
B maintains a 100% safe record, completely bypassing friction!
