Behavior expectations are a common topic in classrooms and colleges. Students often have different expectations for themselves based on their past experiences and behaviors.

Oftentimes, teachers must create expectations that fit the individual student and their needs.

One way to create expectations that are both accurate and helpful is to have a behavior goal. This is a plan that is created specifically for the student and is designed to help them achieve their goal.

If you do not have a behavior goal, you can create one based on the student’s current behavior. For example, if a student constantly interrupts class, you might set a goal of not giving them more than five minutes of class time. This goal would be specific and measurable.

Another way to create expectations is to have an investigation plan. This is a plan that is created specifically for the student and is designed to help them understand their behavior and the consequences that come with it.

This plan would include things such as identifying the behavior, measuring the behavior, and then addressing the behavior.

It is important to remember that students have different expectations for themselves and that teachers need to create expectations that fit each student. If you do not have a specific behavior goal, it is best to create one based on the student’s past behaviors.

Finally, it is important to remember that behavior expectations should not be placed on the student themselves, but on the teacher. The teacher needs to set expectations for the class and then help the students meet them.
