Positive Behaviour for Learning

Every child has the right to learn and every teacher has the right to teach. 

        Lesson Plan: Defining Behaviours 

Step 1: List Learning Intentions and Success Criteria

We are learning to:

• define what the words defiance, disrespect and disruption mean
• Explain what defiance, disrespect and disruption look like

It will look like:

• defining defiance, disrespect and disruption
• identifying examples of each behaviour
• explaining how these behaviours affect safety, respect and learning.

Step 2:  List a rationale for teaching the behaviour 

Why is it important?

Holy Rosary School Values: Relationships, Respect, Resilience, Integrity, Kindness.

Holy Rosary School Expectations: Safety is our right. Learning is our responsibility. Respect is our way.
