Behavior expectation or rule to be taught: Be Respectful           

Location for expectation:  Playground

Rationale- It is important be respectful with peers by taking turns, using nice words, including others, and caring for nature. 

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

 

Tracy and Shelly were on the playground.  They both went to use the slide.  Shelly told Tracy that she could do first.  Tracy said “Thank you, Shelly” and then slid down the slide.

Tracy and Shelly were jumping rope.  Susie came over and asked, “May I jump rope too?”  The girls said, “Sure, we love to include everyone in our games.”  All three girls played jump rope merrily.

Susie was admiring the new daffodil flowers.  She was very careful to look and not touch even though she really wanted one for her mom.

 

Tracy and Shelly were on the playground.  They both went to use the slide.  Unfortunately Shelly started to push Tracy out of the way.  Tracy started to scream and call her names. 

Tracy and Shelly were jumping rope.  Susie came over and asked, “May I jump rope too?”  The girls didn’t answer her.  They walked away leaving Susie alone and feeling left out.

Susie was admiring the new daffodils flowers.  She started to pick a beautiful bouquet of flowers for her mom even though she was not supposed to touch the flowers.

Provide opportunities to practice and build fluency:

Teachers should walk their class to the playground.  To show non examples two teachers could model inappropriate behavior.  Afterwards students can identify inappropriate behavior.

Acknowledge expected behavior:

To show examples of proper behavior two teachers could model appropriate behavior.  Afterwards students can identify appropriate behavior.  Lastly the teacher would have students volunteer model appropriate behavior for class.  This could be done several times.
