46. start with a vision • In a perfect world, what kind of school environment would you like to see? • What type of behavior would you like to see from your students? From staff? • What behaviors would you like never to see again?

47. Behavioral Expectations • Choose 3-5 broadly stated expectations • Use data to see what major challenges are and align expectations to those. • For example, if there are a lot of office referrals for harassment, Be Respectful may be a good choice.
