Benchmarks of Quality (BOQs)

42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

43. Classroom routines and procedures are explicitly identified for activities where problems often occur (e.g. entering class, asking questions, sharpening pencil, using restroom, dismissal)

44. Expected behavior routines in classroom are taught

2 points 1 point 0 pointEvident in most classrooms(>75% of classrooms)

Evident in many classrooms(50-75% of classrooms)

Evident in only a fewclassrooms (<50% of classrooms)

HOW WILL YOU KNOW?

45. Classroom teachers use immediate and specific praise

46. Acknowledgement of students demonstrating adherence to classroom rules and routines occurs more frequently than acknowledgement of inappropriate behaviors

47. Procedures exist for tracking classroom behavior problems

48. Classrooms have a range of consequences/interventions for problem behavior that are documented and consistently delivered
