Classroom Expectations and Procedures
Throughout this page you will find different strategies, expectations, and procedures that will be present in the classroom. These are things you could review with your student in order for us to have the most effective and impactful learning environment this year.
Classroom Expectations
To begin the year we will create a classroom contract where we address and create rules that students and myself will be expected to follow. Students will be the creator in this process with the teacher as the facilitator. These are expectations that will best fit the students within the classroom and the expectations they believe are needed. On the contract each student will take ownership in the expectations by signing to indicate that they will adhere to the expectations listed. The contract will then be posted at the front of the classroom to be addressed and discussed as needed while allowing students access to the list each day.
