Class Expectations

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will help promote a safe and fun learning environment. Students can achieve this by following my five rules:

  • Press the Reset Button (otherwise known as let go and move on)
    • This means that students come to class and leave all negative emotions at the door. Today is a new day, make the most of it.
  • Be Respectful
    • This extends to respecting the equipment, fellow students, themselves, as well as the teacher.
  • Be Safe
    • This includes physical, emotional, and social safety.
    • Emotional safety refers to providing an environment free from insults and bullying.
    • Social safety refers to including and making others feel welcome.
  • Try Your Best
    • Everyone is different and so are their skills. No matter skill level, attitude toward the learning activity, or who you are working with try your best.
  • Have Fun
    • The best classes are the ones you enjoy and have fun in. I seek to have that occur for everyone in every class, but not at the expense of others.
Aside from my five rules, there are a couple of other class expectations that students should keep in mind.
  • Please keep all personal belongs in the locker rooms.
  • During Project Adventure units, students are expected to contribute to the class discussion.
  • Students will have 6 minutes to change at the beginning of class and at the end of class.
