So, how do teachers identify these key behaviors? As a first step, form a representative team from across grade levels and departments to identify your school’s behavioral priorities using the template in figure 1.2. The prioritization, defining, and teaching of behavioral skills must be consistent across the school; student and staff will be frustrated, confused, and less-than-ideally successful if this is not the case. While all sta must ultimately have a voice in the behavioral skills that are identified, this representative team can guide the process, communicating to and gathering feedback from the colleagues with whom they work.
Figure 1.2: Template to identify behavioral priorities.

To help you identify behavioral priorities, table 1.1 compiles an extensive list of behavioral skills and attributes based on our definition in the introduction, popular educational frameworks, research studies, and models from schools that have successfully implemented RTI. You can use any of these, a combination, or make up your own priorities based on your school’s individual needs.
