Today’s Agenda
Review Schoolwide Expectations - Finalize Teaching Expectations – Behavior Lesson Schedule for Behavior Lesson Schoolwide Recognition and Reward Systems Office Referral Form Design Professional Development for you building
You will leave today with…
Your schoolwide behavioral expectations Lessons plans and a “plan of action” (timeline) for
teaching the behavioral expectations beginning day one and throughout the year
A “Plan of Action” to teach and discuss the Pyramid of Success with your building staff:
- Common expectations- Lesson plan and schedule- Office referral form and definitions
What Do We Know About Effective Behavioral Expectations?
They create a culture of consistency
They include all students for teaching
They use positive stated expectations
They target all form of behavior (safe, respectful, responsible)
They are known by all students and adults (ask them!)
Establishing Expectations
Set 3-5 umbrella building expectations
Simple and straightforward—do not make them so attorneys need to interpret them!
Observable & measurable Positively stated
Make a list of common areas in your school
Focus on important behaviors
Define the expectations and complete the matrix for each setting
Don’t make rules you aren’t prepared to consistently reinforce!
Positive school behavioral expectations have the following features:
Expectations are positively stated Expectations are posted: in hallways, classrooms, in
the school handbook, on agenda planners, etc. Expectations are taught directly to students with
formal lessons Expectations are taught and reviewed at least 10-20
times per year To maximize effectiveness, a system of positive
reinforcement and recognition-all times, by all adults-for following the expectations is in place throughout the building
Some of you may be wondering…
“Does this really work?” Researchers have demonstrated that these
types of programs, when paired with monitoring and a system of positive reinforcement, can reduce problem behavior and improve school climate.
(Sprague et al., 2001 Taylor-Green et al.,1997)
Focus Activity- Finalize Expectations
Work with your school leadership team for 15 minutes to accomplish the following:– Finalize Schoolwide expectations and
operationalize each expectation across the five common areas (create rules to support expectations)
– Divide work among team members– Be prepared to report out – Each team must finish the grid!
Be SafeBe RespectfulBe Responsible

Teaching Expectations –
Where do we begin?
Teach Social Behaviors Like Academic Skills
Teach through multiple examples Teach where the problems are occurring Give frequent practice opportunities Provide useful corrections Provide positive feedback Monitor for success
Teach expected behaviors just like other subjects
Target specific times to teach the expectations
Intervene with students, using the language of the lessons. For example if a student is running in the hall, say: “What is the rule about all hallways? Please go back and walk”.
Watch for students using the expected behaviors and give them positive feedback
Teach expected behaviors just like other subjects (continued)
Review and recall expected behaviors regularly
Use the language of behavior expectations in content lessons as reading or social studies
Model the expected behavior in all of your interactions with students and adults

School Expectations: Lesson Plan Components
What do we expect the student to do?– Teach the expected behaviors– Tell why it is important– Give positive and negative examples– Provide opportunities for practice
School Expectations: Lesson Plan Components (continued)
Prevent problems from occurring– Actively supervise– Provide reminders of expected behaviors before
they occur– Give positive feedback for expected behavior– Provide corrections for problem behavior– Review behavioral expectations – Measure for success
Pyramid of SuccessBehavioral Expectation Lesson Plan - Cafeteria
The Behavioral Expectation Lesson Plan …..
The Next Step
Pyramid of SuccessBehavioral Expectation Lesson Plan
- Cafeteria
Objective: Students will be Safe, Respectful and
Responsible in the cafeteria.
Part I: Cafeteria Information Lesson
Part II: Cafeteria Procedural Lesson
Cafeteria Information Procedural Lesson
Read the Cafeteria Procedural Lesson Plan quietly to yourself
Complete the cafeteria grid with your leadership team
Take a 15 minute break when you are finished
Cafeteria Expectation Lesson
Silently read over the expectation lesson plan
Take on the role of students as the presenter conducts the lesson
A Schedule for Teaching Lessons
It is critical to set a schedule to teach the behavior expectation lesson plans
– Develop an opening week schoolwide schedule
– Develop a 2006-2007 behavior expectations lesson schedule
Methods for Teaching Building Expectations
Lesson Plans Skits Whole Group Practice T-Charts Lessons on morning
announcements/videotape Lessons during assemblies Roving presenters
Example Day 1
First Period-Arrival Second Period-Cafeteria Third Period-Hallways Fourth Period-Bathroom Fifth Period-Dismissal Sixth Period-Playground Seventh Period-Transportation
Schoolwide Recognition and Reward Systems
Design the system for all students Give public recognition to model for other students Use recognition and rewards that students want Recognize teachers as well! Increase recognition before difficult times Reteach behaviors if things don’t go as expected
Checklist of Essential Components of a Schoolwide Recognition System
Be Safe Be Respectful Be Responsible Who will be involved (e.g., teachers, staff,
administrators, volunteers, others)? How and when will tokens be distributed? Where will the tokens be turned in? What “backup” incentives will be used?
Checklist of Essential Components of a Schoolwide Recognition System (continued)
How and where will you obtain backup rewards?
When and where will drawings for backup incentive occur?
Who will conduct the drawings? When will you review if the system is
working?

My School’s Office Referral Data Reflection
How is discipline referral data used in my school? What are some concerns about using discipline
referrals to make school discipline decisions? What are some practices that make use of discipline
referrals effective? How often do I get information about discipline
referral patterns from my administrator? What needs to be improved in our office discipline
referral system?
CMSD Office Referral Form Elements
Students name Date and time Student grade Referring staff member Location of referral Possible motivation Response or consequence for the student
Work Session
Design the professional develop for your building staff around these five areas
-School wide expectations
- Behavior Expectation lessons
- The Schedule to teach the lessons
- System of rewards/recognition
- Office referral form
