4 Important Questions to Consider

1)How do you want me to treat you?2)How do you want your classmates to treat you?3)How do you think I want to be treated?4)How is learning disrupted during class?

WE HAVE TO DETERMINE OUR NON-NEGOTIABLES FIRST.

Mine—How I want you to treat me:

No talking when I’m talking.No sleeping during class.No cell phones/iPads out/used without my permission.

Now meet with your groups and discuss your non-negotiables regarding the 3 questions:How do you want me to treat you?How do you want your classmates to treat you?How do you think I want to be treated?
