Reinforcing Behavior
What Can You Do To Reinforce School-Wide Positive Behavior
- Learn and model the Leapwood School-Wide Behavioral Expectations.
- Find the connection between the School-Wide Discipline Plan and your Classroom Management Plan (It creates consistency!)
- Find opportunities to refer to the behavioral guidelines and expectations in your daily lessons (Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible).
- Consider misbehavior as an opportunity for learning. Will the consequence teach the student what to do next time?
- LOOK for and acknowledge students that display the behavioral expectations. (verbal praise, tickets, stickers, positive note home, high five, etc…)
