Lesson Plans for Teaching Behavioral Expectations


Each and expectation will be taught using Responsive Classroom's Interactive Modeling. This means that much of the first few weeks of school will consist of reteaching expectations. As tedious as this may seem, it is incredibly beneficial and will ensure behavioral expectations are explicit and well understood by all students – even the expectations which occur during the most complex and potentially problematic transitions and activities. I believe that interactive modeling is a successful approach to teaching expectations as it provides a very high-structured lesson and requires full student participation. In the previously blog post I have provided a step-by-step interactive modeling lesson plan format as well as an example of what it might look like in action. For more information you can check out this link from Responsive Classroom or watch the youtube video below.
