Lesson Plan
Session 1: Building Proactive Strategies
Teachers will identify and apply proactive Tier 1 behavior management strategies by defining clear classroom expectations and collaboratively creating a Behavior Expectations Matrix tailored to 4th grade.
Establishing and teaching positive expectations reduces disruptions, fosters a supportive climate, and promotes student engagement. Proactive routines help prevent misbehavior before it occurs, saving instructional time and boosting classroom morale.
