Keys to Success Step 1 Respect me by being prepared to learn: Come to class with an open mind and all of your materials. Be prepared to learn and practice new skills. Step 2 Respect others by participating: Raise your hand to speak. Treat others with dignity. We are all here to learn and improve. Our greatest resource is one another. Step 3 Respect yourself by being persistent: In this class we don’t do “easy”, we make things easy through hard work and learning. I will challenge you to become the best you can be. Mistakes are part of the process. Give your best effort every day. A list of procedures and steps, or a lecture slide with media.
