Something I learned in NTI this past summer that I implemented the first few weeks of school was __the introduction to the student and what they are wanting to know on the first day. This is how it worked, student were glad to know how the class would run and the way they would be graded, and they learned a little about me. It made my new year different by letting the students know more about me and the class, making the student know what is expected.
I agree, ladies! I spent considerable time on classroom expectations this year beginning with the first day. My students even made their own posters to represent the rules for each level. Setting very clear expectations early on is already paying off!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone, regardless of age, likes to know the expectations and to know that they are well thought out and not arbitrary or inconsistent. Great post! Dr. J.
