THE WAY OF THE SCOTS

Poll

Is it important for students to know their teacher's behavioral and academic expectations?

• Yes, knowing their expectations helps me be more successful in class.

• No, I would do just as well not knowing their expectations.

THE WAY OF THE SCOTS:

One of the best ways to help students meet rigorous academic expectations is to first set high expectations for behavior. Why?

In classrooms with clear and consistent behavior expectations:

Students know and understand what’s expected of them, which gives them confidence.

Students monitor themselves and take more responsibility for their behavior — and their learning.

Students spend more time on task and academic learning time increases.

THE WAY OF THE SCOTS:

Teachers can more easily recognize and motivate positive behaviors.

Classroom stress for students and teachers decreases.

Students gain a sense of safety and security.

The classroom culture and the school culture become more positive overall.
