Those articles explain the purpose of breaks, the different types of breaks, and the types of activities that students engage in to take restorative breaks. This article provides a checklist that you can use to measure break proficiency, to determine if your restore program is operating at a high enough level of sophistication.

]]> The BBTIPC Proficiency Scale

The BBTIPC Proficiency Scale is used to measure staff competency within and across all fourteen elements and complementary areas. Effective intervention teams will have people with a broad range of expertise across several of these areas. The proficiency scale is used to show who has expertise in specific areas, where proficiency within the team could use more growth, and it can also be used to measure changes in proficiency within and across teams following proficiency development efforts. For more on proficiency development, see the section later in this document, BBTIPC Proficiency Development: Learning Experiences and Activities.
