START WITH A VISION

In a perfect world, what kind of school environment would you like to see?

What type of behavior would you like to see from your students? From staff?

What behaviors would you like never to see again?

BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS Choose 3-5 broadly stated expectations Use data to see what major challenges are and align expectations to those.

For example, if there are a lot of office referrals for harassment, Be Respectful may be a good choice.
