PBIS
January Goal
As part of our PBIS expectations, in January each teacher will be asked to teach a lesson on their expected classroom behaviors. This document provides sample lesson plans, depending upon grade level taught, to use and a checklist for you to fill out with your initials and the date at which you completed this lesson plan with your students. Please feel free to make a copy of the lesson plans and edit as fits your classroom. If you have any questions please reach out to the PBIS team.
