Clear expectations help managers reduce confusion, strengthen accountability, and support stronger follow-through. In this hands-on practice clinic, managers will use the 6 Steps to Setting Expectations to prepare and deliver expectations for the new school year. The focus will be on the real moment where expectation-setting gets harder: saying the expectation clearly, checking for understanding, and staying grounded when staff respond with questions, concerns, or pushback. Managers will leave with practical language and a clearer plan for setting expectations that help their teams start the year aligned.
