Create a Lesson Plan for EACH Expectation (3-5 separate Lesson Plans):
See Attachment in Brainshark for Expectations Lesson Plan SAMPLE)
Expectation Lesson Plan
Expectation 1: Be RespectfulDefinition
Students will use appropriate language around peers and adults. They will use kind words to solve conflicts in multiple scenarios.
Rationale for having the Expectation
It is important to be respectful to your peers and adults in school. Using words or actions to harass, tease or bully another student is inappropriate because such words and actions can hurt others. Using good manners and appropriate language promote positive social skills and relationships. Promoting respect can ensure positive interactions in school and enhance the learning environment.
Positive Examples: “Looks Like” / Non-examples
EXAMPLE: Wiping down the table after eating / Leaving garbage on the table
Following direction by listening to any staff members instructions the first time / Pushing/shoving
Asking an adult (on duty) to help when a conflict can’t be resolved “Can you help me with a problem, please?” / Screaming/Yelling
Talk in a respectful manner / Using unkind words (i.e., cursing, calling people names such as “stupid, idiot)
Keeping hands and feet to self (stay in your own physical space) / Getting into a person’s physical space

CHAMPS, PAX, LEAPS
Specific steps of Lesson Plan (3-5 sentences. Include lesson format, activities, and details to replicate):
Have several teachers in costume dressed as Aretha with microphones lip-synch RESPECT by Aretha Franklin.
Note: (The more you make this a fun experience, the more the students will “buy in”.)
Tell the audience that the school has a new discipline policy. Give the students the 3 behavioral expectations that adopted. Tell them that today you are focusing on Be Respectful. Tell them you are going to help them see what respect looks like in all areas of the school.
At this time, have a teacher come in dressed like a spy (trench coat, hat, sunglasses) carrying a briefcase. They will say: “My mission and I choose to accept it, is to catch you….being good.” All of the staff at Dillard have accepted this mission. We will be out in the halls looking for students who are exhibiting the appropriate behaviors. If we catch you, you will be rewarded. “There are spies everywhere.” (At this point have all staff take out a pair of sunglasses and put them on and point at someone who is sitting nicely.)
Input
Show on the large screen the part of the matrix for Be Respectful. Go over what it looks like in each of the areas that you have on your matrix.
Modeling
Teachers do a respect skit to model appropriate behavior.
Guided Practice
Call several students out of the audience to show respect. Have them show it the wrong way and then the right way. You can give them scenarios (You are in the bathroom and you see that one of your friends is getting ready to write a joke on the bathroom stall. What could you do? A) find him a bigger pen, B) get him a dictionary so he spells the words correctly, or C) ask him not to do it out of respect for the building.
Checking for Understanding
Make a PowerPoint Quiz to show the students: Ask them questions about what respect looks like in different areas: Example: Is it respectful to throw litter on the school grounds?
Independent Practice
The key to this is to make sure every staff member is out there catching students being good. Make sure in the beginning to tell them exactly how they are showing respect.
Students create artwork that can be put up around the school on what respect looks like, or poems, songs, stories etc. Let them be creative. Displays will serve as constant reminders.
Once a week, it would be fun to play Aretha Franklin’s song as the students are coming into school or leaving school.
Follow up Classroom Lesson
Focus: Ask the students why people take off their hats at ball games when the star spangled banner is played. Hopefully, you will elicit the response that it is out of respect for the flag. You can go into a short discussion about why we choose to show respect for the American flag.Objective: The objective of this lesson is to further identify what respect means at school and in classroom.
Input: Display matrix. Go over the matrix with the students for the respectful section- not the whole matrix.
Modeling: Give examples of how you (the teacher) show respect at home, in the teacher’s lounge, at the grocery store, etc. Make this personal so they can see that adults use respect. Then ask the students how they think you respect them. Talk to them about you respect them by spending your summers planning lessons, shopping for items to make the room pretty, taking time to grade their papers, etc. Ask one of them to be the teacher for a moment. Ask them to teach something that you know they will be able to teach the class. While they are teaching, you will take a seat as a student and then “be obnoxious”. (raise your hand but blurt out the answers without waiting to be called on, run up to the board and write the answer on the board etc.- or choose the one thing that drives you crazy that students do in the classroom). Then, stop the class and ask them if they’ve ever been in a class where someone acted like that. Ask them to model the correct behavior. Choose another student to be the teacher and then have another student model the correct way to answer the questions etc.
Guided Practice:
a. Take your class out in the hallway and ask two students to show you non-respect and respect in the hallway.
b. Take your class to the bathroom and (don’t go in) but have two students give scenarios of not showing respect in the bathroom and showing respect in the bathroom. (always give the positive last so it is fresh in their mind)
c. Take your class to the lunchroom, office, media, etc. discuss all of the places on your matrix with non-examples and proper examples.
Checking for Understanding: Give your class a quick quiz (oral) on the right and wrong way to show respect. You can ask them to show you thumb up, thumbs down when you give scenarios etc.
Closure: Have them write down a short paragraph about what they learned and how they will carry that over to home and community.
Provide Opportunities for Practice
Make a poster that highlights being respectful in a creative way.
With a peer, students are asked to come up with their own scenario. Student groups will act out appropriate, respectful behavior for their scenario. Teacher and other students will provide feedback to peer groups.
Weekly scenarios
Publicly recognizing students who display respectful behavior
Teacher regularly model respectful behavior.

Diagram of a Listener Handout
Specific steps of Lesson Plan (Include lesson format, activities, and details to replicate):
What is the skill?
Choose 1 of the following to introduce the skill.
•State the skill: Listen attentively
•Quote: “Be a good listener, your ears will never get you in trouble.”– Frank Tyger
•Read a piece of literature, picture book, social story, fiction, an excerpt from a novel or an article:
Dealing With Someone Who Won’t Listen, by Lisa K. Adams
Activity:
1. Telephone –Be sure to stop after every so many students to check that the message is
correct. We do not want students practicing the “wrong” listening skills.
2. Truth, Truth, Lie- Tell 2 things that are the truth about yourself, and one thing that is a lie. Students try to guess which thing is the truth.
3. Think, Pair, Share – During an academic subject, have students think about a concept, partner up and share their thinking with a partner. Have the partner repeat back what they heard while listening. For example: “I heard you say that Lebron James is the best player in the NBA.”
•Discussion: “Why would it be important to have good listening skills? What are some situations where
listening is very important? How would listening be helpful in these situations?”
•Tie listening attentively to your school expectations.
Discuss Skill Steps– Using the list of skill steps above, quickly review the behavioral expectation for appropriately listening attentively.
•Being a good listener means we:
1) have eyes on speaker
2) have our voice off
3) have hands and feet still
4) listen to all information
SHOW
Teacher models both examples and non-examples
Scenarios (modeled by teacher)
Read the scenarios below and have students give a thumbs up if it is a good example, thumb sideways if it is almost there, and a thumbs down if it is a non-
example of listening attentively. Whenever possible teachers can/should make a connection to other curricular areas such as ties to a character from literature, current events, famous quotations, or to a content area.
