Distance Learning Playbook Module 2

Creating Classroom Norms

• Set clear expectations and follow through

• Less is more

• Make them positive

• Students involved in creation
  

• Make them specific

• Post them and refer to them often

• Be explicit when referring to them

Multiple Select

Click the statements that would make good clear expectations for you students

• Make sure you have completed the pre-class preparation activity so that you'll be ready to learn

• Come to class with questions about the assigned activities so that you can have necessary clarification.

• Listen carefully to others and ask good questions (ones on topic)

• If you don't get done with your at-home assignments, we will just skip what I had planned to allow you to work on it in class. That way we can't move forward and progress in this class.

Multiple Choice

Clear expectations for what is required of the students is optional, since they do what they want anyways.

• True

• False

Multiple Select

If I don't follow through with my students on the expectations for them, they will eventually do what I want them to do, maybe, I guess.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Why must I refer to the norms and agreement often?

• Students need constant reminders of what we want them to do.

• None of our students can read the norms we have posted.

• It doesn't need to be referred to often. They will catch on eventually.

• It only works if you do a jig like that one time you were in a dance hall and your favorite song came on and you started jigging and jagging while frolicking in the confetti falling from the sky.

• Laugh when you can't pronounce their name and ask if they could come up with a nickname that is easier to pronounce

Learn Student Interests

• check in multiple times a year

Poll

What do you think of the movie Hidden Figures?
