Social Contract Signing

Now that your Social Contract is complete, here are a few ideas to solidify the expectations with your students:

Whole Team Signing- Write the Social Contract on a large poster board and have every student and adult on your team sign it. Hang it in the hall for all to see. You could do this three times to have a signed poster in each core classroom or have students sign one big poster in your UA class (you will have all students by the end of the year).

Example Dots- Hang the Social Contract in your room. Pass out three dots (maybe different colors- one for each guideline). Have students write an example on how they show each expectation in action on a dot. For example- I have taken accountability when I was late to class and got a pass or I have encouraged others when I was playing field hockey and cheered on my teammates.  Hang the dots around the Social Contract poster in your room. Be sure they sign the actual Social Contract poster.

Hand prints- Have students trace their hands and write their names on them. Hang them around the Social Contract poster to show that you all had your hand in the creation of the expectations. 

Team Chain- Give each student a strip of paper with the Social Contract guidelines printed on them. Have each student sign their strip. Then make a team chain out of the strips and hang the chain where it can be easily seen.

Symbol Signing- Have each student create/draw something that symbolizes them. Have them cut this out and glue it to the Social Contract poster as an alternative to a signature.
