1B. Class Expectations


ia. Teacher:
 Create fun and engaging lessons that maximize active learning time.
o 4) know your content and epistemic practices
o 6) create classroom and academic routines that make sense to the students

 Provide support for various ability levels to enhance the achievement of all students.
o 2) learn your students and earn their trust
o 4) know your content and epistemic practices
o 2) learn your students and earn their trust

 Firm, fair, and consistent enforcement of class expectations.


o 6) create classroom and academic routines that make sense to the students

 Will adhere to the same social expectations I have set for my students.
o 1) teacher know thyself
o 3) avoid microaggressions, judgements and grudges;
o 7) avoid hypocrisy

ib. Students:
 Treat peers and teacher with respect at all times (i.e. not talking during instruction, good
sportsmanship, no name-calling, negative comments, bullying, or fighting of any kind).
o 6) create classroom and academic routines that make sense to the students; and

 Dress out in proper uniform (including shoes with laces; no jewelry) in a timely manner.
o 4) know your content and epistemic practices
 Demonstrate effort during all class activities (I value effort over performance).

iia. Discipline Policy:


 First offense – Warning
 Second offense – One-on-one conversation
 Third offense – Lunch Detention
 Fourth offense – Call home
 Fifth offense – Apology Letter
 Sixth offense – Parent/Teacher conference
 Seventh offense – Involve administration / In school suspension

iib. Reward Policy:


 Verbal affirmation/feedback
 Written letter/email home

iii. Discuss the circumstances that lead to a one-on-one conference with a student. Why
would this be needed? What will happen if the student continues with the behavior?
After a students’ second offense of class expectations, I will have a conversation with the student to try
and find common ground and establish report with the student. This is in an attempt to make the student
understand that I am only interested in their success and want them to succeed in my class. I will ask the
student if there is anything I can do to help them in my class. Lastly, I will make sure the student
understands that I will not tolerate disrespect, as well as subsequent actions if their negative behavior
continues.

iv. Discuss the social expectations between students and student to teacher social
expectations.
The social expectations for students and teacher are the same. Treat others with respect at all times. For
the students, this means not talking while the teacher is talking and maintaining positive interactions and
communication with their peers. Students who demonstrate disrespectful behavior will be subject to the
discipline policy. At no time is it acceptable for the teacher to model disrespectful behavior towards
anyone. The teacher has more responsibility in that they are ultimately responsible for ensuring a
respectful, healthy, and safe social environment.

1C. Academic and Classroom Routines and Procedures

i. Absences and Tardies:


 It is the parent/guardian responsibility to report their child’s absence(s) to the school

days will be recorded as unexcused/truancy absences.

assignments and tests missed during the absence that can be reasonably provided and,
upon satisfactory completion within a reasonable period of time, shall be given full
