Behavior expectation or rule to be taught: Be Responsible

Location for expectation:  Playground

Rationale- It is important to take care of the school’s equipment.  Not returning and caring for the playground equipment could lead to having nothing to play with.  It is also important to come in when the whistle is blown because students are missing educational time.   Be responsible by bringing and wearing appropriate playground clothing according to the seasons.

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

 

Danny and Taylor each take a football out for recess.  When the whistle blows each boy makes sure they bring in a ball from the playground.

Danny and Taylor are playing at the bottom of the hill.  The whistle blows and they stop playing and come in.

Taylor and Danny are sledding on the school hill in December with all their winter clothing on (coat, snow pants, hat, mittens and boots).

 

 

Danny and Taylor each take a ball out for recess.  When the whistle blows each boy takes off running for the door, leaving their balls on the playground.

Danny and Taylor are playing at the bottom of the hill.  The whistle blows and they continue playing.  The whistle blows again and they start up the hill, but continue playing all the way in.  They are late for class.

Taylor and Danny are on the playground in December.  Neither one of them has appropriate winter clothing on (ex. Danny has no snow pants or boots).

Provide opportunities to practice and build fluency:

  1. Set aside at the beginning of each recess time to review the rules.
  2. Have individual students role play examples and non-examples of the above rules.
  3. Tell students about consequences for following and not following the rules.
