Since I have extremely high expectations of my students performance and behavior in my classroom, I feel that's it's only fair that my students have the right to have equally high expectations of me. Therefore, I have two sets of classroom expectations posted in my room at all times.

1. INTEGRITY - I will conduct myself with integrity at all times.
2. RESPECT - I will treat you with respect at all times, and will strive to provide you with specific feedback on your performance … both good and opportunities for improvement.
3. LISTEN - You can come and talk with me and I will listen to what you say and not judge you.
4. TOUGH - I will be tough, but fair.
5. FUN - We will have a good time in the class this year!

1. INTEGRITY – You will conduct yourself with integrity at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, obeying all school rules and not cheating, lying, or stealing.
2. RESPECT – Teacher, Classmates, and their possessions - Treat others as you would want them to treat you. This includes no name calling, use of appropriate language, keeping your hands to yourself, being in your seat when the bell rings, allowing others to speak, and no threats or bullying.
3. HARD WORK – If you give 100% effort to this class, you will not fail it. I expect you to do the assignments, come to tutoring when needed, and make an effort to learn the material.
4. CLASS PARTICIPATION – Come to class prepared, be willing to share. Obviously, you can’t participate if you aren’t here, so please make every effort to be in your seat before the bell rings. Also, do not check your brain at the door. You will need it!
5. ACCOUNTABILITY – Hold me accountable to my Integrity, Respect, and Listening expectations.
