Teaching expected behaviours

This year, we have begun teaching the expected behaviours from our Positive Behaviour Matrix. These expectations are explicitly taught to students through the Tell, Show, Practice model.

  • Teach /Tell - Introduce the expected behaviours and discuss why it is important.
  • Show – Demonstrate and Model.
  • Practise – Role play expected behaviours in the relevant contexts.
  • Monitor – Pre-correct, supervise and acknowledge with positive feedback.
  • Reteach – Practise throughout the day.

One expectation is taught every week from our wellbeing scope and sequence. Below is an example of a lesson.
