I believe that effective classroom management techniques are essential to ensure a safe and productive learning environment.
People make the best choices based on what they have experienced and learned in their lifetimes.
All members of the learning community will practice clear, consistent expectations defined from the beginning and continued throughout the year. Students will have a clear understanding of my expectations in the classroom, specifically in effort, behavior, and class participation. All assignments will have clear and detailed printed and vocalized expectations to enhance performance and to minimize confusion. Questions are always encouraged. Students will take responsibility for absences by first consulting the calendar and the nearby handout file for the days missed.
