This classroom management plan outlines Amy's expectations for her science class. She will focus on pursuing knowledge through asking questions and collaboration. Students are expected to respect others, be prepared, on time, and focus on class without distractions. Procedures are outlined for arriving late, bathroom breaks, problems, absences, assignments, and lab safety. Amy will engage students through lectures, labs, questions, homework and exams. Consequences for misbehavior are also detailed.

5. Statement of Purpose
In antiquity, science meant knowledge. In modern times, science also mean the
pursuit of knowledge1. And just as in the pursuit of happiness you will
probably never be 100% happy, in this class no one is 100% knowledgeable and
you won’t be when you leave.
We ask questions. We say when we don’t understand something when we
don’t. We explain and shine when we do. We learn new languages, use art and
technology, build things, strive to be our best and recognize everyone has
experiences and strengths, that when combined are powerful.
At the end of this course, every student should be proud of their effort,
confident in their abilities and pursue knowledge for the rest of their lives.

6. Rules
1. Respect the feelings, property and
space of your classmates and
teacher.
2. Be prepared for class. Have a
writing instrument, textbooks,
notebook and assignments
complete.
3. Be on time.
4. Suspend your social life. No tech,
no side conversations.
5. No Food, No Candy/Gum; Water
is only allowed beverage

7. Procedures
At the start of class……
Enter the classroom on time.
Drop homework in basket.
Take your assigned seat.
Check the board. Observe/record
assignment and key dates (quizzes,
tests); start on stage ‘1’ activity.
If you’ve arrived without your writing
tools or texts, you may borrow and
return from the end of class.

8. Procedures
If you are avoidably late……
Enter quietly. Be respectful of your
classmates and teacher.
If you have a pass, please place on my
desk. If not, we can discuss after class.
Try to catch up on with material on
your own or after class – not by
interrupting others.

9. Procedures
If you really are in need of the
restroom after the start of class…
I will presume this is a critical need,
and a special circumstance.
There are two hall passes on my desk.
You may raise your hand, take one and
quickly return.
If you are about to be sick, just quickly
leave. I or another person will check
on you to be sure you are ‘OK’.

10. Procedures
If you are having a problem, with the
class or another student…
All students should feel safe in this
class. Bullying WILL NOT BE
TOLERATED. Physical, Verbal, or Cyber!
If you are struggling with the material,
or me, please speak with me. We will
work out a solution.
Raising your hand or speaking up
when you are having a problem is not
always easy! But is it RIGHT!

11. Procedures
If you are absent…
You have one week to make up
the work.
If this is a planned absence, such
as a college visit or a family
vacation – please see me prior to
your departure and I will provide
you with the assignments.
Quizzes or exams that are missed
due to absence must be made up
within one week after returning
to school. You must arrange a
day/time to meet with me during
a student period or after school
to do so.

12. Procedures
Academic Honesty…..
The work in question gets a ‘0’.
A separate independent assignment
worth 50% of the questionable
assignment will be given. It is your
chance to redeem a bad mistake and
regain your integrity.
Late or Missing Assignments
You will get two homework passes
during a semester.
If you have consumed these, work
turned in after the due date is reduced
from full credit at 20% per day.

13. Procedures
Conduct during class….
I expect students upright, in their
chairs, participating in class.
I expect students to raise their hands
in answering questions, so that I and
others may clearly hear them.
I expect quiet during announcements
or for a visitor, giving respect to what’s
communicated.

14. Procedures - SAFETY
The MOST IMPORTANT is LAST:
 Labs are a part of this class. We
will have a class, quiz and separate
paperwork for your parents to sign
covering the safety procedures in
greater detail.
 If you DO GET HURT in class… a
cut, a burn, anything….
I NEED TO KNOW; NO HIDING!
YOU NEED TO SEEK TREATMENT –
even if it’s just a band-aid or ice
IF YOU KNOW ANOTHER STUDENT
HAS BEEN HURT IN CLASS, IT IS NOT
‘OK’ TO BE SILENT!

15. What You Can Expect of
Me….
I Don’t Like Sitting, I Like Moving
Around….
Some of you are like that too!
- I lecture 20-30 mins. Then we’ll
practice or work as a group.
- I LIKE LABS! We will shoot for one
every 7-10 days.
- I like asking questions. And I like
getting as many different answers
as I can!
- 30 mins of homework, four times a
week.
- I will give you a quiz once a week.
- You will have an exam once per
grade period. It will be announced
2 weeks in advance and come with
a study guide.
- One BIG dislike of mine are put-
downs or ridicule of people or
ideas! From experience a number
of great ideas were originally
dismissed as stupid!

16. Consequences

Verbal warning
Change of Seating
Detention
