Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Recite and commit to a set of classroom behavior expectations covering effort, kindness, honesty and perseverance.
Personalize the pledge by signing it and adding a thumbprint.
Teaching tips
Read the pledge aloud together as a class before students sign, since the language is written in first person ("I will...").
Have an ink pad ready for the thumbprint line so students can complete the personalization step.
Consider displaying signed pledges together on a classroom board as a shared back-to-school commitment.
Skills covered
Community/character commitment — students read and personally commit to 13 classroom behavior expectations covering readiness, effort, kindness, honesty, inclusion and perseverance.
Personalizing a class agreement — students sign their name and add a thumbprint to make the pledge a personal keepsake.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Is the pledge meant to be recited, signed, or both?
Both -- the page presents the pledge as a read-and-commit statement, then closes with "This is my promise," a signature line and a thumbprint space so each student can personalize their own copy.
