“Teach”
“Model”
“Coach”

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

6. 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

7. Teach Behavior Skills in a Variety of Ways

13. 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.
