Setting+Up+Rights+and+Responsibilities

To create our own rules, I would like to concentrate on the three R's: Respect, Rights, and Responsibilities. As a class we will define these things together.


 * Identify the situations where rules are needed so that the group can learn well and work productively together.
 * Brainstorm a list of Rights and Responsibilities.
 * Evaluate the solutions and eliminate any that anyone objects to or violates school policies.
 * Create a way to post the rules.

Teacher's thoughts: Mutual respect and cooperation is expected. Students are encouraged to make a positive investment in the class and to their own learning experience. Personal responsibility is strongly emphasized.
