Abstract

Challenging or provocative student

behavior, such as talking back to the teacher, or disruptive classroom

behavior, is an issue for schools around the world. In the Netherlands

there is a growing need for school time-out programs that are meant to cater to the needs of students who have been expelled due to their maladaptive behavior and are not accepted in another school for this same reason. The most common school time-out program in the Netherlands is called Rebound. Rebounds are meant to achieve two goals: (1) care and interventions for students who are referred, and (2) a positive and safe school climate for their non-referred peers. Using comparative empirical approaches, this study focuses on the fit between referred students’ characteristics and the program offered in Rebounds, the effects of Rebound facilities on students’ social adjustment, and the association between leisure activities and school adjustment.
