Session Title Setting Classroom Expectations – June 3, 2019

Duration of the 2 hours (But if the discussion is healthy, you may extend the time)
Session
Key Setting classroom expectations and developing learning goals collaboratively puts
Understanding/s students at the center of the learning process. When teachers make classroom
expectations clear, it allows students to take personal responsibility for their learning
and behavior and adjust their progress toward classroom goals throughout the year.
But teachers should focus on defining these expectations when school starts, setting
up student success for the rest of the year. Expectations that are developed halfway
through the year or are inconsistently reinforced will only confuse students.
It’s important that teachers understand and develop two kinds of classroom
expectations: behavior expectations and learning expectations. Behavior expectations
refer to the rules of etiquette that help keep a class running smoothly. Setting clear
classroom behavior expectations has been proven to make concentrating and teaching
in the classroom easier; research has shown that classrooms in which educators have
set clear behavior expectations experience nearly 30% fewer disruptions than
classrooms in which teachers have not set expectations.

But simply announcing the “class rules” isn’t enough to instill or curb specific
behaviors. Just like regular school subjects, behavior expectations must be taught. For
example, instead of simply posting a sheet that lists out behavior rules, teachers can
turn behavior expectation setting into a discussion that involves the students. Try
asking, “what do you think should and shouldn’t be allowed in the classroom, and
why?” and then guide the discussion as needed. Students will then feel like they
helped create the expectations, rather than simply being told what to do, which will
help them stick.

Equally important to student success is learning expectations. When teachers outline

what students are expected to learn at the beginning of the year, that helps students
anticipate their learning needs and enables them to track their own progress. It can
also get them excited about what’s to come later in the school year!
Session Objectives At the end of the session, the students are expected to:

1. Share their thoughts prior to coming to school;

2. Commit to contribute to the success of the class’ learning and to the achievement of
the school;
3. Create Classrooms rules or pledge.

Resources Chalk board, chalks, manila papers, pentel pen, masking tapes
Activity cum Ask the students to answer the following questions. These questions may be translated
Analysis (30 mins.) to Mother Tongue. The teacher will facilitate their answers by allowing the students to
write their answers on the board.

1. What do I expect to gain from the class?

Expected Answers: Nami nga mga teachers, damo kmi matun-an sa mga
teachers, etc.
2. What would I like the teachers to do in order to help me learn the subjects?
 Expected Answers: pa inchindihon gd kmi nila, indi katuloyo sg iya clase,
etc.
3. What would I like my fellow classmates to do so that I can maximize my
learning?
Expected Answers: indi mag absent, ma participate pirmi, indi magsinabad
sac lase, etc.
4. What would I do so that I can contribute to the success of the class
learning?
Expected Answers: ma participate mayo sa clase, indi ma late or mag
absent, etc.
5. What would I do so that I can contribute to the achievement of the school?
Expected Answers: mapati sg mga classroom kag school rules and
regulations, matuon mayo, etc.

The teacher will ask some students to explain some notable answers and ask them if
they are happy with their answers.
Then the teacher will ask some students again to generalize the answers of his/her
classmates per questions. The teacher will further discuss the answers of the students
for clarifications.
Application Based on their answers, divide the groups into 5 and let them create their
(30 mins.) classroom rules on the 15 different learning episodes inside the classroom, using the
template below. Allow them to do this activity for 30 minutes.
Discuss with the students the rules, consequences, & incentives for another 30
minutes until you come up with their final rules.

When everybody agrees, allow them to write the rules, consequences, and incentives
on a cartolina or manila paper, and post them on the wall. Then let them make their
own Class Pledge or Class Promise. Each group will recite their pledges or promises in
front of the class. Then let them sign or palm print their pledges or promises and post
them on your wall.
