#24: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Set Expectations, and (More Importantly) Make Them an Effective Part of Your Day-to-Day Classroom Management.
About this episode
In this episode, I take you on a mini pod journey as I unravel my tips for setting expectations with students. Join me as I explore:
- The drawbacks of traditional rules and the power of expectations in fostering collaboration and connection.
- Why expectations are more effective in gaining student buy-in and creating a productive learning environment.
- Practical strategies for effectively setting expectations, including dedicating explicit lessons and encouraging student input.
- The importance of modelling accountability and creating a culture of trust and shared responsibility.
- How to keep expectations alive throughout the school year and integrate them into daily classroom routines.
- Why you, as a teacher, are a living embodiment of the expectations you set for your students.
Listen along as I provide you with the tools and inspiration to establish a classroom culture where students feel respected, valued, and motivated to meet expectations.
