Why 3-5 Universal Expectations?

We cannot teach rules for every possible situation that might

arise in schoolRules create too much “wiggle room” for loopholes

Too many rules create a negative, punitive school culture

Too many rules focus on obedience rather than responsibility

Rule is a four-letter word

3 – 5 Universal Expectations (aka: “Guidelines for Success” or

“Codes of Conduct”)

The goal is to develop a code of conduct which addresses behavior expectations in all aspects of the school or program

Increases consistency

Children are taught how to evaluate their behavior according to the code or general guidelines

Expectations known by all (just ask them!)

ESTABLISHING 3-5 SCHOOL/PROGRAM-WIDE BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS

Positively Stated - Not a list of no’s and don’ts

Simple, generalShould reflect the type of climate

you want in your setting and what you expect from students and staff

These will be the core organizing principals for your MBI school-wide system

1. Take care of

yourself.2. Take care of each other.3. Take care of

this place.
