Lesson Plan
Kick-Off Celebration Plan
Students will collaboratively define and co-create 3–5 positive school-wide expectations, experience our reinforcement system, and set personal goals for exemplifying the norms.
Co-creating expectations builds ownership, fosters a positive school climate, and establishes a foundation for consistent behavior and reinforcement across K–5 classrooms.
