Bonnie & Tracy

Behavior expectation or rule to be taught: Be Respectful

Location for expectation:  Bathroom 

Rationale- It is important to be respectful in the bathroom because it is a shared space; respect others privacy, use your inside voice, and use appropriate time in the bathroom. Using your own space and allowing others to have their space. There are classes being taught within the same area.  You are missing valuable educational time.

Provide examples to help students better understand what is and what is not the expected behavior:

Examples of expected behavior. Choose examples of that best “fits” the general case of what the behavior expectation

 

Non examples of expected behavior that are:

·     More similar to examples of expected behavior rather than outrageous non-examples

·     Typical of what students do when they are not engaged in the expected behavior

Provide opportunities to practice and build fluency:

  1. Set aside a few minutes each day to practice the rule.
  2. As the teacher models, have individual students demonstrate examples and non-examples of the rule (role play)
  3. Tell students about the consequences for following and not following the rules. (ex. Lose bathroom privileges)
