If You Want Responsible Behavior “Teach” “Model” “Coach” “Reinforce”

Considerations Social and academic teaching must be integrated within and across the curriculum Behaviors must be taught directly and students need examples and reminders to perform throughout the day Students who misbehave regularly will need additional instruction

Teaching Expected Behavior Use multiple examples, both positive and negative Teach in the setting(s) where you want it to happen Provide frequent positive practice with useful corrections Acknowledge and reinforce expected behavior Teach it the same way you would academic content

Staff should come up with a collective rubric that defines what the expected behaviors look and sound like. Give out example from Sprick materials.

Activity: “Booster Sessions” Review the data, specifically for “peaks’ and “valleys” “If this were your campus, when (during the fall) would you think it logical to revisit your school-wide expectations?” Discuss as a group. Report out. Repeat activity for the “spring” timeframe. Emphasize with teams that the goal is to revisit the school-wide expectations at least 20 times each year.
