Teach To's: 100 Behavior Lesson Plans and Essential Advice

Back to this book's main information page

The Teach To's book contains over 100 lesson plans to help teachers "Teach To" classroom expectations. In tens of thousands of classrooms across America and beyond, the Center for Teacher Effectiveness and it's associates have demonstrated that an instructional approach to classroom management yields positive results. Among them are more on-task time, accelerated learning, and happier students. Teaching to expectations is vital for several reasons:

• Rules and routines give students a feeling of security.
• Rules and routines reinforce the skills that every student must have in order to be a successful learner
• Rules and routines allow a teacher to be a fair disciplinarian.

Researchers at the Center for Teacher Effectiveness asked master teachers from around the country to develop and field test Teach-To lesson plans for those common rules and routines critical to successful school and classroom functioning. Teach-To's set the stage for structure in your classroom for divergent and creative discovery and learning.
