3. From your teacher…
My job is to teach you and to help you be
successful. I appreciate you and I will provide you
with quality instruction. We will be working
together closely.
We will treat others the way we want to be treated.
We will call each other by name. We will refer to
adults as Mr. or Mrs./Ms., ma’am and sir.
Each one of us is responsible for our class. We will
keep our classroom neat and orderly. We will put
things back where they belong. We will get up and
throw our trash away. We will not “hoop” with the
trash can.
I will be going over the rules and procedures for the
class and we will practice them. They are to help
you learn in a classroom that is safe and effective.
They will help make sure that you are successful.
Ms. B. Lucas

you learn, the more places you'll go.” Dr. Seuss

13. MARVIN MARSHALL’S HIERARCHY OF
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
 LEVEL A – ANARCHY, an unacceptable level of behavior. Students are narcissistic
and only think of themselves, and have little concern for others.
 LEVEL B – BOSSING/BULLYING/BOTHERING, also an unacceptable level of behavior.
They only obey the teacher when authority is used.
 LEVEL C – COOPERATION/CONFORMITY, an acceptable level of motivation. Behavior
comes from external influences.
 LEVEL D – DEMOCRACY AND TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO DO THE RIGHT THING, the
highest and most desirable level of motivation. Students behave responsibly
without having to be told to do so. You do the right thing because it is best for you
and for the people around you.
* LEVEL D IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!*
