  7. A.C.T. is… • Needs-based program • Enhances and enriches the curriculum • Push-in and pull-out units • Inquisitive • FUN!

  8. A.C.T. is not… • A place to goof off • A place to “get out of class”

  9. Expectations • It is absolutely expected that your classroom work be turned in, on-time, and of high quality before you come here. • This is one of the defining reasons you are here – we believe you can do this and need more!

  10. Expectations (cont’d) • Remember to show up on your day at your time with a pencil, any work for me, and your folder, and your organizer. • I will let you know if you should NOT come. A.C.T.

  11. Expectations (cont’d) • YOU are responsible for seeing your teachers and making up ALL work missed due to A.C.T. on your time, not during instruction (this includes your classroom teacher, specials teachers, and lessons).

  12. Expectations (cont’d) • Behavior here is exemplary! (You should set an example for other classes.)

  13. Expectations (cont’d) • Engaged in the discussion or activity • Not simply participation…but • Critical thought • Serious discussion • Respectful listening • High-quality, neat work

  14. Reminders • Clean up after yourself. Our room is tiny – please keep it neat for the next group coming in. • Respect, open-mindedness, and tolerance are expected to foster an environment that encourages creativity and divergent thought (outside the box!) • Success in A.C.T. (and in life) is a choice to push yourself to be the best YOUcan be. There is no need to compare yourself to others.

  15. A.C.T. Always Creatively Think!
