Description
Once expectations have been defined, systematic teaching of those expected behaviors must be a routine part of the school day. Effective instruction of social behavioral skills requires more than simply providing the rule–it requires instruction, practice, feedback, reteaching, and encouragement.
This course describes the process for writing lesson plans, developing a teaching schedule, and providing special activities and events that guide the ongoing teaching of expected behaviors.
