Seven pages provide a cover plus paired class-book and learner-contribution formats. Teachers can choose language centered on class promises, class expectations, or school expectations; each option includes a collective We Can page and an individual I Can page with a name line. The repeated structure lets every learner contribute to a compiled book while reinforcing agreed routines. It works naturally during community building or expectations review.

A Class Book of Class Promises: Engendering Productive Classroom Behaviour

A Class Book of Class Promises is a paramount resource for teachers aiming to delineate expectations and build a sense of togetherness within their classrooms. This downloadable tool, available in .PDF format, helps students from Kindergarten to Grade 2 comprehend the importance of maintaining adequate classroom behaviour.

Three Unique Versions Available
  • 'We can follow the class promises'
  • 'We can follow the class expectations'
  • 'We can follow the school expectations'

These distinct versions provide educators with adaptable ways to educate their pupils about behavioural norms, irrespective of where they stand in a given academic year.

Potential Implementation Approaches:
  1. Whole-group instruction: Ideal at the commencement of an academic year or post-winter break for revisiting all-round norms that apply mutually.
  2. Smaller group or individual check-ins: Perfect opportunity for issuing targeted reminders throughout lessons or educational activities.
  3. Homeschooling applications: Serves as an effective organisation and household management tool during homeschooling sessions.
Not only meant for rule imposition but predominantly aimed at fostering student-teacher bonhomie by initiating open discussions on responsible behaviours necessary within learning environments. In conclusion - be it patience-nurturing conversations around acceptable conduct or binding unity around common community values - A Class Book of Class Promises, simplifies these complex elements palatable for young learners while reducing preparation time required by teachers.
