middle (January) and end (May) of the current school year. The school-wide
rules, expectations, and procedures will be reviewed throughout the year as
needed.
Students will be monitored for compliance of school rules and expectations and

Lesson Plan for Teaching the
School-wide Rules
Goals:
(1) To accelerate the academic performance of all students
(2) To maintain a positive, safe, and respectful environment for all students
Objectives:
(1) Students will understand and follow school rules in order to build a school atmosphere that promotes citizenship
and achievement
(2) Students will be able to recite the school-wide rules.
Activities:
1. The teacher will introduce the school rules by asking the following guided questions: Who can give me
examples of rules that we need to follow? Why do you think we need to follow these rules? Do you think we need
rules at school?
2. The school-wide rules will be introduced and taught to all students. Teachers will teach what each rule should
look like in each setting (refer to Behavior Matrix). Teachers will emphasize to students that the school-wide rules
are the same in every setting throughout the school. All students will be made aware of
where the school rules are located in the classroom as well as throughout the entire school building.
3. Upon completion of teaching the school rules, students will demonstrate their knowledge of the school rules by
modeling what each of the school rules look like in various settings and by having classroom discussions about the
importance of the school rules. Classroom discussions may be done orally or written.
Closure:
1. Close with the following question: If there were no rules here at school what would happen? 2. Review the
school-wide rules again with your students and their importance. Randomly ask students to name a school-wide
rule.
