Boundary modeling: the practice of consistently
Boundary modeling: the practice of consistently demonstrating boundary-setting behaviors in daily actions so that others can observe and learn from them, creating a social learning environment where boundaries become normalized and permissible within a group or organization
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes 'boundary modeling' by identifying its category (practice of demonstrating behaviors), its distinguishing features (consistency, observability, social learning mechanism), and its functional outcome (creating normalized and permissible boundary environments). It clearly delineates this concept from mere announcement or performance and provides the precise semantic boundary needed for curriculum understanding.
