Expectation Chart

In order to clarify our expectation at school that all students show respectful, responsible, and safe behavior at all times, we break down each goal into smaller, concrete behaviors and explicitly teach them as they are applied to different areas of the school.  For example, we define what respectful behavior looks like in the hallway -- then teach and reinforce those specific behaviors, like using quiet voices, respecting the space of others in the hallway, etc.  All these specific behaviors are put together on a teaching matrix that is displayed throughout the building so that students can easily refer to it.  Through this matrix, behavioral expectations are made very clear to students.

Home PBIS Matrix
Parents can use the same idea effectively at home to make their behavioral expectations clear to their children.  You can create your own family matrix of specific behaviors you want to reinforce that define respect, responsibility, and safety at home.   It's best to create it with the help of your children so that they have ownership in it.  Then you might post it in various places in the house so that your children can easily refer to it.  Here is an example of a Home Matrix and Here is a blank Home Matrix that you can use in setting up your own.  We hope that you find it helpful!
