Selecting School-Wide Expectations

This lesson describes the first step in developing a social behavioral curriculum, identifying three to five overarching schoolwide social behavioral expectations that will be defined and agreed to by all staff. These expectations are valued social skills and behaviors for success at school and eventually in life. Examples include: respectful, responsible, safe, cooperative, and kind.

Select three to five schoolwide expectations that define success for all students and are applicable in all settings (e.g., respectful, cooperative, safe, kind).
