There are 3 major forms of time out used
in education.
1. Non-exclusion
A non-exclusion time out is one in which
a student is allowed to observe activities but not to participate.
2. Exclusion
This type of time out is one in which the
student is not permitted to participate in or observe what the rest of the
class Is doing. The student is located in the corner of the room, or his desk
or chair is turned away from the activities in progress.
3. Isolation
The most restrictive form of time out is
isolation. The student is located in a completely separate area. Empty
conference rooms or offices can be used, as well as specifically designed
isolation booths.
