1st time- verbal warning or nonverbal warning
2nd time- have a conversation with you and inform your advisor

6. Start of Class Routines
When the bell rings you will have 1 minute to….
Be in your seat and silent
Be in dress code
Have your homework out, and start quietly working on the Do Now
Remove backpacks and other non-math class related stuff from your desk.

7. During Class Routines During teacher led instruction you will… Sit up
Raise your hand for questions, clarification, or response
Track me with your eyes

8. During Group Work…
All members must be working on the same problem at all times. No going ahead, no leaving anyone behind, unless it is part of the assignment to work on different problems.
You must have your own paper in front of you at all times. It is okay to say “You have to multiply by 2.” It is not okay to say “Here, copy this.”
No off topic talking during group work or transitions into group work.
Use respectful language when working with group members (no put downs)
Everyone in the group must be working to solve the task at hand no matter what their group role is.

9. End of Class Routine: At the 1 minute warning bell…
Please put back any materials you borrowed or used during class
Push in your chair
Pick up any trash near your table

10. Tardy Policy
Be in your seats with your math materials (notebook, pencil, etc.) out when the bell rings. If you fail to do so you will be marked tardy.
If you are tardy you will not receive credit for your Do Now which counts toward your homework grade.
Your 4th tardy results in an incident report. Every tardy after that will also be accompanied by an incident report.
The excuse, “My teacher kept me late” will only work if you come to class with a pass from that teacher.

11. Bathroom Use If you need to use the bathroom during class, please ask.
Fill out a pass and bring it to me to sign
Also fill out the Bathroom Log before you leave the room
If I am in the middle of teaching/giving directions this is not the time to ask. If it is an emergency, please signal or ask in a nonverbal way(ex. Like with a hand gesture)
*** I will not always say yes, this is not because I don’t like you or I am trying to be mean, there is a good reason why and I will try to let you know at that time

12. Class Participation Class participation is part of your grade
Although there will be times for you to raise your hand and participate, most of the time you will be called on to participate.
If you are called on, “I don’t know” is not an answer. I expect you to be paying attention at all times and even if you may not have the correct answer I expect you to respond by either giving an educated guess or work out the solution verbally with help from classmates/teacher.

13. I have clear expectations and norms because I care for every one of you and want to see you fulfill your dreams. If you follow the norms then you will learn the content. So have fun, study, and enjoy the ride!
