PBIS Lesson Plan for Teaching School-wide Behavior Expectations (school rules)
Hopson Middle School
Location: Hallway
Expectation: Respectful
FEEDBACK: Correct/pre-correct students implementing expected behaviors.
(List possible error correction and reinforcement techniques).
Correction/pre-correction techniques
Positive reward system techniques
 Model expected behavior for student to model.
1) Verbal label praise (ex: I like the way you are
 Practice individually or as a whole class
keeping your hands at your sides in the
hallway)
2) Utilize school-wide ticket system for specific
defined behaviors (behavior definitions)
RE-TEACH:
Discuss/teach/reward behavior in natural environment when observed. If a non-example occurs,
teach/model expected behavior in natural environment. If re-teaching all or one behavior
definition/expectation, be sure to use positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior.
Repeat lesson in classroom or natural environment as scheduled or needed. Emphasis on example/ nonexample of behavior for clarity of expectation.
