All students have the right to participate and learn in an environment that is safe and promotes teamwork. To honor this belief, we have the following expectations of ourselves and our students:
Teacher Standards
1. We will show you dignity and respect by knowing your needs and not humiliating or demeaning you.
2. We will model and encourage “personal best”.
3. We will have clear Learning Targets and lessons to support them.
4. We will establish a positive learning environment. AVID students are expected to be more mature and responsible than a typical middle school student. Therefore, we will not tolerate any disrespectful attitudes or actions at any time towards anyone in the classroom.
5. On your toughest days we will provide support; however, we’ll also provide consequences that allow you to experience the results of a poor choice, enabling you to make better choices in the future.
