Expectations for Success
The following five classroom expectations are set up as a guide to ensure a successful learning environment for every member of my classroom:
“Learn how to learn”
This is my main classroom motto. I believe it is more important for students to develop strategies for learning than to love the subject matter and content of the class. With this in mind, every student is capable of succeeding in my class and each individual will require different strategies to achieve success. It is also important that I commit to “learning how to learn” about my students, the subject matter, and my teaching methods.
Prioritize respect
Every member of the class is to prioritize respect for the school and the rules outlined in the Student Handbook. It is important that each member of the class fosters a community of respect between the teacher, the students, and themselves.
Demonstrate honesty and integrity
Every member of the class should uphold the honor code and submit their own unique individual work. Each member of the class should demonstrate integrity by being responsible for their behavior and holding themselves accountable to their words and actions.
Be a collaborator
Every member of the class should contribute from his/her own wealth of knowledge, come prepared to start on time every day, and ask questions early and often. All behavior should contribute to your own learning and the learning of others.
Become an expert
Every member of the class should use academic language, strive to be engaged and interested, and demonstrate persistence in studying and practicing the material both in class and outside of class.
