Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher gives out toys and says, ‘We’re going to build. Thank you for waiting. Can you wait one more second while I give directions?’ Notice how the teacher clearly sets expectations and models patience—an example of verbalizing appropriate expectations and limits for children, and modeling appropriate behavior for children.
