Abstract

Timeout has been used extensively within schools to address inappropriate behavior in children. In practice, timeout is not a single strategy; rather, it is a compilation of related practices. Some forms of timeout are research-based practices for modifying student behavior. However, others lack research support and frequently are misused, hindering academic performance and risking harm to children. This article reviews the different types of timeout and shares best practices to help teachers use timeout successfully.
