Definition of a Social Contract  Agreement for behavior

Guidelines  School rules are separate from this since they are designed for a large number of students  This contract is just for those in this class

Goal: Create a self-managing group  Students have the right and responsibility to learn  This is YOUR class, so you are going to decide how we treat each other and you are going to help each other follow what you decide  The teacher has the right and responsibility to teach  I don’t have to nag AND the best part is that if you help each other, and I don’t have to get involved, there will be no consequences

Building the Social Contract  Four questions to be answered  1. How do you want to be treated by the teacher?  2. How do you want to be treated by each other?  3. How do you think the teacher wants to be treated by you?  4. How do we want to treat each other when there is a conflict?

Personal Responsibility  You, as a member of this class, are responsible for three things  Your thoughts  Your attitudes  Your actions
