  1. Environmental Systems Room 316 Ms. Thomas

  2. Why should we have class norms?

  3. Discuss the following questions with your shoulder partner and be ready to share your ideas with the class. • Have you ever been asked to collaborate with other people and to follow certain rules to achieve a common goal?

  4. What would happen if you or your teammates decided not to follow these rules?

  5. Now think about this… • Do you and I have a common goal we wish to achieve in this classroom setting?

  6. What will guarantee our success in reaching this goal?

  7. CLASS NORMS • Let’s take a few minutes to create a set of classroom norms that will support a safe and successful learning environment for all students and the teacher.

  8. Creating Norms • In groups of 3 decide on 3 rules that you would like to establish for your chemistry class. Phrase the rule as a “DO” and not a “DON’T”. • Make sure your rules are very specific and that you have a concrete example of what that behavior would look like. • Write them down on 3 separate sticky notes. • Be prepared to explain the value/ importance of your rules.

  9. Place chairs around the room so that we can form a big circle. • Each group will share one of their rules. • Similar rules will be combined together. • A poster will be created for each class and posted in the room.

  10. As your teacher I expect you to: • arrive on time and be prepared for class, with all assignments completed • keep all electronic devices, toiletries, food and beverages concealed in the front of the room. • put your best effort into your class assignments and class activities • come to class with a positive and respectful attitude • participate in tutorials when you are struggling with the material being taught

  11. As a student in my class, you may expect me to: • be respectful of you and other students • be prepared and well organized • begin and end class on time • give you clear expectations and timely feedback on assignments • be available to assist you with individual concerns outside of class

  12. I am truly honored to be your teacher. • Remember our common goal… • Let’s all have a great year!!!
