(common language, expectations, guidelines for success) Motivation and responsibility should be encouraged through positive interaction and building relationships with students. Student misbehavior provides a teaching opportunity. (common language, expectations, guidelines for success) Collaboration is critical. All staff members must work together to help students behave respectively and to meet student needs.
