  3. My Philosophiesabout Education I hear and I forgot I see and I remember I do and I understand Failure is not an option Non-participation is not acceptable Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for life. “I can’t” stands for: I Completely Admit I’m Not Trying Those who work, learn. The workers and professionals of the world will soon be divided into two distinct groups; those who will control computers and those who will be controlled by computers. It would be best for you to be in the former group. ~Lewis D. Eigen~ Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

  9. Classroom Routines, Rituals and Policies #3 Arrival • On time • Be logged on to your computer by the time I take attendance at the bell • If you must use restroom ask Mrs. Awde before the bell rings and then go and return quickly. Access to restroom during class will happen only in an absolute emergency. Tardy • If you have this class first period, and you arrive to my room after the 7:30 a.m. bell, go directly to the dean. You will not be allowed in without a late pass. • After first period, if you are late: come here directly with a pass that excuses your tardiness. If you don’t have a pass, you will deal with consequences with me for the first three times, and after that, it goes to the dean. Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

  10. Classroom Routines, Rituals and Policies #4 Today’s work • Always posted on board when you enter the classroom • If working independently, log on to your computer and get right to work. • If we’re doing something together, log on to your computer and be ready for instruction. • When I say that I am ready to begin and that you should close anything else on the desktop. I mean everything and I mean now. Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

Classroom Routines, Rituals and Policies #6 Departure • Stay in seats until the bell rings • I will not relent on this and no one will leave the room until everyone is in their seat • Recycle any returned papers and clean up around your work area • PUSH CHAIRS IN before leaving the room • They are a fire hazard if not pushed in, as students can’t get by them Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

  13. Classroom Routines, Rituals and Policies #7 Help • Always ask for help when you need it—that’s what I’m here for • When I help a student in the class, remaining students may chat quietly, but: • Class must immediately regroup upon Mrs. Awde’s return to the teacher station Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

I don’t want to see it AT ALL. • First time I see it, I’ll take it and return it to you at end of the period • No arguments about this • Second time I see it, I’ll take it and give it to the dean • No arguments about this either, or you will be headed to the dean along with your phone Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

  16. Major Rules • I’m a rule follower and a rule enforcer • All school policies are enforced in this classroom Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

  17. Major Rules • If you are ever absent from class, you must ask me what work you missed, and then make the time to do that work. • “I was absent” is not an acceptable excuse for not learning the subject matter. • If you have access to the Parent Portal (info to follow) that makes this process very easy. • If you don’t have access to the Parent Portal, you must ask me. Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom

  18. Major Rules • If your grade slips below a 70%, I will give you written notification, and you must come during advisory or after school to make up work and/or benchmarks • Failure is not an option! • Try to get access to the parent portal • Discuss this with your parents • You are the best person to stay on top of your own school progress • Historically, all of my best students have done this • See this link to Newport Public Schools Welcome to Mrs. Awde's Classroom
