The most effective teachers don't assume students know classroom procedures—they teach, model, practice, reinforce, and reteach them throughout the year.

Presentation Overview: Developing/Teaching Classroom Expectations/Routines
Our brains remember information better when it's learned in the place where it will be used. That's why teaching hallway expectations in the hallway and playground expectations on the playground is more effective than teaching everything in the classroom.

One of the biggest reasons expectations aren't followed is that adults often assume students already know them. When schools explicitly teach expectations by location, behavior problems often decrease because expectations are clear to everyone.

Implementing Zones Of Regulation
Implementing Zones Of Regulation
To assist schools in building uniformity of language and practice regarding self-regulation, SWSS is recommending schools use The Zones of Regulation. This is an evidence based framework and set of instructional resources which teach students how to identify their current state and to learn how to adjust it to the situation.
What Is Self-Regulation?
Regulation is the ability to notice and manage our energy level, attention and feelings so we can respond effectively to what’s happening around us.
It’s not about being “calm” all the time—it’s about having the tools to adjust, like a thermostat, so we can learn, connect, and problem-solve.

Middle School Supports (6-9th grade) to teach Zones of Regulation
High School Supports (9-12th grade) to teach Zones of Regulation
