Citizenship Skills Development & Assessment: Class readiness, participation, & citizenship

In order to develop and reinforce skills and behaviors vital to becoming a successful citizen and being a good person, students will sometimes be given a weekly grade based on how well they are able to do the following:

• Be on time to class and ready to begin when the bell rings
• Be prepared for class with required class materials (writing utensil, assignments, Chromebook or laptop, ETC)
• Respect your peers and the teacher(s) in the classroom by giving them your undivided attention when they have the floor
• Maintain focus and give your best effort on all in class activities
• Abstain from disrespectful or intolerant speech/behavior that threatens a safe & positive class environment
• Participate in class discussions in a meaningful and productive way
• Complete every assignment and activity to the best of your abilities
• Ask questions and/or reach out to the teacher outside of class if additional help or clarification is needed to understand or complete an assignment.
