Which technique involves clearly displaying, modeling, and reinforcing behavioral expectations so students can see and understand what is required?

• A. Radar and Be Seen Looking
• B. Least Invasive Intervention
• C. Make Expectations Visible
• D. Strong Voice

Answer: (C)

Making expectations visible centers on clarity in what students should do, and it combines three key ideas: displaying the rules and routines so everyone can see them, modeling the expected behaviors so students know exactly how to act, and reinforcing those behaviors so the standards are maintained over time. When rules and success criteria are posted and referenced during lessons, students understand precisely what is required in different situations. Demonstrating the behaviors themselves gives a concrete example to imitate, turning vague ideas into observable actions. Reinforcement—praise, tokens, or other incentives—helps students internalize these expectations and stay consistent across settings. While other strategies can support behavior, this approach directly links visible standards with demonstrated practice and ongoing reinforcement, making it the clearest way to show students what is required.
