Clear Routines & Procedures

Expectations Taught & Reinforced

Rationale: When teachers teach and reinforce expectations it ensures students have an understanding of the expectations and creates a clear, consistent, positive environment. 

Description: When teaching expectations the teacher states the expectation, provides rationale, models the behavior, asks students what they noticed and practices the expectations.  The teacher then reinforces the expectations by remaining consistent and clear. Praise or review of expectations should be given when needed.
