E. Expectations and Rules Developed

Objectives
• Understand guidelines for developing school-wide expectations
• Understand the differences between expectations and rules
• Identify strategies to determine your school-wide expectations
• Define and draft 3-5 expectations for your school• Define rules for unique settings• Understand why rules are important
School-wide Expectations
• Definition: • A list of specific, positively stated behaviors that are
desired of all faculty and students
• Also referred to as concepts
• These expectations should be in line with the school’s mission statement and should be taught to all faculty, students, and families
School Rules
NO Food
NO Weapons
NO Backpacks
NO Drugs/Smoking
NO Bullying
Problems with Reactive Strategies
Punishment alone will not lead to durable change in behavior. (Braaten, 1994)
Reactive strategies that rely primarily on punishment assume that the individuals know what is expected, how to do it, and are properly motivated. Unfortunately it fails to teach the expected behavior. (Horner & Sugai, 1999)
Some forms of punishment may actually be rewarding and maintain problem behaviors. (Gresham, 1991; March & Horner, 2002)
-No hitting
-No cursing
-No yelling
-No cheating
-No cell phones
-No note passing
-No asking unrelated questions
-No talking while the teacher is talking
-No saying “No”.
Rules for Unique Settings
• Definition:• Specific skills you want students to
exhibit and the procedures you want students to follow in specific settings
What Is Gained by Identifying Rules?• Uniform instruction across multiple programs and
settings within the school
• Communication among staff members
• Communication with parents
• Curriculum design
• Legal, ethical, and professional accountability
How Are Expectations and Rules Similar?
• Both should be limited in number (3-5)• Both should be positively stated• Both should be aligned with the school’s
mission statement & policies• Both should clarify criteria for successful
performance
How Are Expectations and Rules Different?
• Expectations are broadly stated
• Expectations apply to all people in all settings
• Expectations describe the general ways that people will behave
Differences continued. . . .
• Rules describe specific behaviors- Observable - Acknowledgeable
- Teachable• Rules may apply to a limited number of
settings• Rules clarify behaviors for specific settings
When Identifying Expectations
• Consider existing data summaries - Discipline - Academic
• Identify common goals - Mission Statement - Other School-based Programs
Guidelines forIdentifying Expectations
• Identify behaviors expected of all students and staff in all settings
• Select 3 to 5 expectations• State expectations in positive terms• Select expectations that are general enough
to be applicable in multiple settings, but specific enough to be of assistance in generating rules for targeted settings
