Expectations re This Week's Teaching

To be very honest, I'm keeping my expectation list short. I do, however, expect myself to engage the students from the moment I walk into the classroom. The students and teacher will assess one another as soon as they first see one another. It is vital to capitalize on this short window of opportunity to capture their interest and imagination. I intend to do this by having a catchy, relevant introduction to the activity, and by maintaining good pedagogy and professionalism throughout the lesson. While I am in charge of the classroom, I will expect every student to engage in the activity, from the "high-achievers" to those who consider themselves to be struggling learners. All students can learn, and it will be my responsibility to transform that "can learn" into "will learn."

No pressure. :)
