What can be achieved by clearly communicating expected attitudes and behaviors to students?

Clearly communicating expected attitudes and behaviors to students fosters enhanced student relationships because it creates an environment of trust and understanding. When educators set clear expectations, students feel secure in knowing what is anticipated of them, which can lead to more positive interactions and a stronger rapport with their teachers. This clarity helps students develop mutual respect and understanding, paving the way for collaborative learning experiences.

In contrast, other outcomes like increased student referrals or improved lesson plans do not directly result from clear communication of expectations. While time on task may improve with better understanding of behaviors, the most significant impact is on the relationships between students and educators, which are built through clear communication and shared expectations.
