Slide 1.3
Explicit expectations
Why are these important?
• To be successful, children and adults need to
know what is expected of them
• Clarifying expectations helps to create a
positive atmosphere by emphasising what is
wanted and valued
• Stating specific expectations offers a
framework for actively teaching positive
behaviour, so that all children can succeed

Teaching behaviour
‘Behaviour can be an area where we expect so
much and teach so little’
Galvin, Miller and Nash, 1999

Teaching behaviour
• Teach the behaviours that will enable children to
meet the stated expectations
• Make this teaching explicit rather then implicit
• Make time for this explicit teaching a priority
• Do not rely only on language-based approaches:
use pictures, photographs, physical rehearsal
• Help children to understand the idea of learning
behaviours
• Plan for regular reinforcement

We have considered:
• the relationship between rights and responsibilities
• the importance of promoting classroom expectations
• how to make classroom expectations clear
and specific
• the importance of actively teaching positive behaviour
• issues to consider in drawing up a classroom
behaviour plan
• rules which are relevant to our own classroom
