Establishing and Communicating Team Expectations Print this page Save this page
Create, teach, and consistently enforce a common code of conduct across teamed classrooms. When students understand that similar expectations, consequences, and rewards exist for all team teachers, behavior improves and a positive learning climate is created. During the initial team meeting, agree on three to five classroom rules, and develop a hierarchy of both consequences and rewards. Prominently post these rules, and teach them to your students. Consistent, fair enforcement of these basic classroom rules by all team teachers is key to effective classroom and team management.
