This interactive workshop reveals how clear expectations serve as the cornerstone of effective behavior management and positive student relationships. Discover practical strategies to prevent challenging behaviors before they start through the power of well-designed classroom expectations. Learn techniques for creating concise, positive rules that students can remember and follow, methods to teach and consistently reinforce these expectations, and approaches to maintain consistency across varied settings and staff members. You'll leave with actionable strategies you can implement immediately to transform your classroom environment. These evidence-based approaches will not only reduce problem behaviors but also strengthen your relationships with students and create a more positive learning atmosphere.
