Classroom Expectations
Objective
Students will demonstrate critical thinking, communication, and self-awareness by exploring the purpose of classroom expectations and contributing their own. Through reading, discussion, and reflection, students will analyze why expectations are important for a positive learning environment. Students will then collaborate to propose expectations that reflect shared values and promote a respectful, safe, and productive classroom community.
Directions for this Extension Activity:
In this activity, students will explore the purpose of classroom expectations by reading a short text and engaging in a class discussion. After learning why expectations help create a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment, students will reflect on what kind of classroom they want to be part of. Students will then work to create a list of classroom expectations that reflect shared values and goals.
