Presentation:

The teacher will review the expectations with the group, define them, and discuss the rationale.

Teacher will then discuss and model non-examples of behavior for whole group instruction (calling out without raising hand, no materials out for taking notes, not responding during choral response, tipping in chair and spreading out materials beyond the designated space).

Then the teacher will demonstrate and discuss the desired behaviors (listed above).

Practice: The teacher will immediately follow the presentation with an opportunity for students to practice the expected behaviors. Teacher will acknowledge the expected behaviors during the whole group instruction that follows.

Reinforcement: Teacher will provide specific verbal praise to students after the practice session based on the expectations.

Follow-up plan: For the first week of whole group instruction, the expectations will be briefly reviewed prior to starting the lesson. After the first week, the expectations or the full lesson may be done following extended breaks or as needed based on behavior.
