Team Work Time

How will you extend the link between SW Rules & defining behavioral expectations into the classroom?

How will you actively and explicitly set up teachers to make this link in their classrooms?

Teaching Behavioral Expectations &Routines

How will you teach expectations?

Teach expectations in the identified setting (i.e. cafeteria, hallway, etc.)

Have staff who are present in the settings participate/lead lessons (i.e. recess staff lead lesson)

Schedule specific times for trainings to occur across settings

Have principal & leadership team provide support across settings for teaching

EXAMPLES

Expectations & behavioral skills are taught & recognized in natural context

Effective teaching

Have students practice the behavior in the setting

Simply talking about the rules or describing them is not nearly as powerful as having the student practice and “show you” they can do it

Teacher should demonstrate the wrong way Have students explain why this is the wrong way

Students should practice the right way

Developing Lesson Plans

Develop plans which teachers can use to teach identified expectations across settings

Choose a lesson plan template you like

Teaching Behavioral Expectations & Routine Make lessons fun and engaging, just like any

lesson should be Make instruction developmentally appropriate Lessons can be more challenging with older kids;

may rely more on verbal explanation of rules, although, practice is always very valuable

Choose skills to teach wisely Presentation & attitude are important Try mixed modes of teaching (teaching videos)

Re-teach areas of concern

How will new students who move to your school be taught the lessons?

How will new staff or substitute teachers be introduced to rules and expectations?

How can parents be involved?

matrix. For example, let’s take the routine – Doing homework. What would

that behavior look like under each of the expectations?
