Goal for Teachers 85 % Can we spot the students who consistently follow school-wide expectations? 85 %

As a CMS student do I know our school-wide expectations?

Classroom v. Non-classroom Teacher directed Student focus Instructional focus Social focus Small # of predictable students Large # of unpredictable students

Non-classroom Settings Particular times or places where supervision is emphasized Where instruction is not available as behavior management tool Examples: Cafeteria, hallways, playgrounds, bathrooms Buses & bus loading zones, parking lots Assemblies, sporting events, dances

State, review, and reinforce positively stated expectations. Establish behavioral expectations/rules. Teach rules in context of routines. Prompt or remind students of rule prior to entering natural context. Monitor students’ behavior in natural context & provide specific feedback. Evaluate effect of instruction - review data, make decisions, & follow up. Sarah 9
