The Charter of Rights Freedoms

Classroom Charter

Adopted from Unicef;

"The process of developing the class charter can serve to unite the class. It develops a sense of ownership of the classroom and learning. Once developed the charter becomes a point of reference for the class and once signed by both teacher and students it signifies a shared activity and acts as the ‘social glue’ which binds everyone together."
