Good afternoon. Welcome to the ACADEMIC CENTER!
Group Norms • 100% Participation • Respect each other… necessary for a positive group culture • Partnership… with teachers and other Academic Center workers Are there any others that you all want to add?
Routine… • Must present work to teachers in order to enter the Academic Center promptly at 2:15. You will be sent home if you are late or do not have anything to work on! • Sign in at the entrance to the room and begin working on the puzzle (“Do Now”) at the board. • Work quietly and ask for help from teachers if needed! Must complete work at desk first before moving to computers. • At the end you must fill out an Exit Slip, explaining what you worked on. You must turn this into a teacher on your way out. You will receive a ticket for a raffle for doing this and working the whole time. (1 prize per month!) • Need to get a bus ticket in order to take buses home. (If you have a ride and need to leave early, one of the teachers will walk you out to your ride.)
