High Expectations: Behavior


How do we establish an environment with high expectations for behavior?

Establishing a framework for High Expectations
Some questions to consider:

1) How do you communicate high expectations?

2) Does your team:
  • Define what we want for behavior from students.
  • Define positive and negative consequences for students.
  • Develop a common language.
  • Teach positive behaviors in a proactive way.
