Classroom Expectations

In Tech Ed. 7 & 8 my number one priority is ensuring a safe learning environment in the technology lab classroom where everyone has the opportunity to explore and use different technology.

To ensure a safe tech lab / classroom environment I have a few other expectations for my students:

• Follow the ABCs while in the tech lab: Always Be Careful.

• Respect yourself, others, learning, the machines, and the environment at all times. A respectful tech lab is a safe one.

• Do your best. Don’t be afraid to be challenged and try new things. 

• Adopt a growth mindset. Nobody is perfect. Learn from your mistakes. 

• Attend class regularly and be on time.

• Catch up on missed work when time is missed. The tech lab will be available at lunch for those who need to catch up on projects.

• Be prepared for class. Come to class with lab appropriate clothing (no loose clothes, loose jewelry/rings put away), appropriate footwear (closed toe shoes only, no sandals or Crocs) and long hair safely tied back.

• Self-advocate. Please speak with me before, during or after class if you are concerned about anything or need help, especially if you are unsure how to use a machine.
