Positive High Expectations for All Students

Positive High Expectations for All Students

Coaches understand that teaching routines and expectations while using positive language to reinforce appropriate behaviour is an effective system that supports all students to achieve social, emotional and academic success as well as improves effective instruction. 

Coaches work to support all students by ensuring every teacher is implementing the school-wide system of routines, expectations, and behaviour management through the uniform practices and values established in the school’s behaviour management plan. 

Routines

Establishing predictable routines, such as taking time to review the daily schedule, creating a process for starting and ending the school day, and using consistent methods for transitions between activities and school spaces, help students to know what they need to do now and what will be coming next. 

Expectations

Explicitly teaching expectations, such as appropriate participation in lessons, working, social and organisational etiquettes, and maintaining consistency in the practices and language around those expectations gives students the self-regulatory skills they need to engage and be successful.
