Behavior expectation or rule to be taught: Be Responsible

Location for expectation:  Bathroom

Rationale- It is important to be responsible while you are using the bathroom.  It keeps things clean and people healthy.

 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 nonexamples

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

 

Susie washed her hands.  She threw her paper towel in the trash can.  Susie left the bathroom clean.

 Bobby splashed water all over the sink area and mirror.  He wiped the area dry.  Bobby left the bathroom clean.

Sammy missed the toilet when he was using it.  He told an adult.  A janitor cleaned the area.  Sammy left the bathroom knowing it would be clean.

 

Susie washed her hands.  She threw her paper towel in the trash but missed.  It fell on the floor but she didn’t pick it up.  Susie left the bathroom a mess.

Bobby splashed water all over the sink area and mirror.  He walked away.  Bobby left the bathroom a mess.

Sammy missed the toilet when he was using it.  He didn’t tell an adult.  Sammy left the bathroom a mess.

 

Provide opportunities to practice and build fluency:

Divide the classroom into small groups of 5-8 students.  Demonstrate the proper way to wash hands.  Demonstrate how to wipe up water messes.  Explain the importance of using the toilet correctly and what to do if they miss.  Example: tell an adult.  Discuss benefits of being clean.  Example: Germ reduction and clean for the next person.

Acknowledge expected behavior:

Example:  If the janitor informs classroom teachers of good/clean bathroom behavior on a daily (weekly) basis.  Class as a whole could earn reward (compliment chain).
