Expectations – How you can be successful

• Test and Projects/ Quizzes and Exit Tickets:– Make the most of your time in class. Pay attention in class. Take good notes.– Participate in class discussions. This will help you process what you learn

and will help the teacher know what you are getting out of the lesson. It will help me help you!

– Do your homework well. Don’t just do it for the grade and to get by. The homework has a purpose of helping you learn the material. Make the most of it!

– Study, study, study! Use your notebooks! Study every day. Use your study logs!

– NEVER BE AFRAID TO ASK THE TEACHER FOR HELP! I am always available to you before and after school and even during lunch if you need extra help understanding the material or have any questions. But you also need to make sure that you are the making the most of your time in class.

Expectations – How you can be successful

• Homework and classwork – Complete your homework and classwork everyday. If there is a

question you don’t understand and you didn’t get the chance to ask me, don’t just leave it blank. Give it a good effort to earn some points. Unanswered questions cannot earn you any points and may even make the assignment count as incomplete.

– Put your best effort into all assignments (homework, classwork, activities, etc.). Not only will this get you a good grade, but it is the best way to learn and master the material. Don’t just do things for the grade. Remember, you are here to learn! That should always be your number one academic priority. Don’t just do the minimum to get by. Always challenge yourself to outdo your past efforts.

– Pay careful attention to details. Follow expectations and rubrics given: including those for notebooks, projects, assignments, etc.

Expectations – How you can be successful

• Work Place Points:– Respect all people, including yourself.– Remember: people are here to learn. Always reflect on your

behavior and consider if what you are doing is making a helpful contribution to someone’s learning or if you are robbing someone else of their learning time. You are an important person and have a significant impact on our learning community. Whatever you choose to do at any moment makes a big difference to the people around you. Please make the right and loving choice.

– Follow classroom procedures and expectations – this will help you make a better contribution to our learning community.
