Description

This lesson describes the process for defining non-classroom procedures. Clearly defined procedures allow staff to teach and supervise consistently and predictably. When students can predict the events throughout their school day, they are more likely to be engaged and less likely to display problem behavior.

Outcomes

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Determine procedures for each of the school’s non-classroom settings (e.g., arrival/departure, hallways, cafeteria, recess, restrooms, assemblies, etc.).

Prerequisites

This course is designed for Tier 1 SW-PBS Leadership Teams that have completed development of the Schoolwide Matrix. For additional information on that topic, please see the lessons, Selecting Schoolwide Expectations and Creating a Matrix.

Reflective Questions

  • What are the benefits of having clearly established procedures?
  • Do staff currently use consistent procedures in your school?
  • How do procedures enhance the school environment?
