Objective: Students will be able to identify the differences between appropriate and inappropriate behavior
within the cafeteria.
1.
For each of the five cafeteria expectations, first students will define the difference between appropriate
and inappropriate behavior. Teachers will use a chart to help students recognize the differences between
acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
2.
Teachers will use the list of procedures to teach what is expected to do in the cafeteria. Define the
appropriate behaviors, tell why each is important and go over the steps necessary to properly demonstrate each
one and model positive ways to achieve these behaviors (role playing, set up situations, feedback on behaviors
demonstrated, non-verbal signals for behavioral feedback). Teachers should escort students through the
cafeteria line and through a “mock” lunchtime to practice appropriate movement and expected behaviors.
