Seasoned and experienced Guest Educators know that when you walk into a new classroom, it is in your best interest to establish a set of classroom expectations for the students, in order to conduct an orderly and effective classroom environment.
Below is an introductory list of student expectations that may assist you in improving your classroom management:
• Listen to one another speak
• Raise hands to respond to questions
• Not call out responses
• Demonstrate mutual respect for other students and the teacher
• Follow directions
• Ask questions when unsure of directions
• Speak one at a time
• Be positive
• Make eye contact when someone is speaking
• Keep their hands to themselves
• Think before acting
• Listen to ideas of other students
• Be open-minded with different opinions; try to be non-judgmental
