Students have influence over
High Expectations
I have high academic expectations of my
students. If I want to have a classroom where real
learning occurs, where students can grow and
explore, and where students can reach high
academic standards, then I need to have high
expectations for their behavior as well. To do this
I make sure my procedures and rules are clear so
that my students know exactly what is expected
of them. I also provide multiple means of support
to help guide students success. My goal is for
students to take ownership over their education.
I wholeheartedly believe that all students can be
successful and reach high standards.
