Plan A is more of a first expectation when you don't know how a child is going to react. Until you have learned their behaviors or what to expect from them you don't really know if they are going to need more guidance. Plan A is also used in emergency situations where another child might be in danger of getting harmed. You would need to implement or impose an adult will on a student.
Plan B is collaborative problem solving. I work with kids that are in special Ed and we focus more on the realistic needs per child rather than what age group or class grade. We figure out their set of skills, whether they have an developmental delays and then decide what our expectations are. Keeping them at a level they are comfortable while being patient and allowing progress is a good environment for learning. We show them how to get good at certain skills first.
