  1. Ben,

    I saw Alisa’s comment that you included above in its original thread, and it shook my world in all the right ways. I’ve taken to reteaching participation expectations at the beginning of every class – how I want kids to call out, how I want them to limit English where possible, and how I want them to show me if they’re not understanding. It has had a measurable impact on how appropriately my students participate in class by repeating it every day at the start of class. I think I’m going to start slipping in some of the values that Alisa mentions above into that expectations talk every day, with the hope of providing the “values CI” that eventually works its way into their lives naturally. Naming the expectations and the “whys” has been a valuable reflective practice for me, and I’m hoping this turns over a new leaf with some tough classes and that we can be more harmonious and loving.

    Thank you for this post. Sending hugs to all!

    YESSSSSS!!!!

    “Forget the language gains – let’s show our kids how to behave in an interpersonal, human, reciprocal and back and forth civil way with each other.”

    Exactly!

    I love Alisa’s list! I may have to make a classroom poster of this. And a rubric (haha jk…). I really love everything about this whole post!

    And Ben F!!! Genius: “I’ve taken to reteaching participation expectations at the beginning of every class – how I want kids to call out, how I want them to limit English where possible, and how I want them to show me if they’re not understanding. ” Love it!

  3. Thank you Ben. I remember in many classes I really enjoyed stopping class, walking over to a slumping kid, asking them to please stand up and watch, then I would sit and model the behaviors I wanted in terms of posture, eye contact, etc. I would then have the child sit back down while I went back to the teacher role and say something snarky like, “I didn’t become a teacher to have people not appreciate my knowledge, etc. comments like that, of course said in a loving way. You said your talks have had measurable results. That is awesome. We get through to the Great Screen Generation in any ways we can.

  4. Hey make another rubric. The last one you were in on is now all over the place in simpler forms, but many of the best rubrics now out there took birth here as jGR so many years ago (about 2011 I’m guessing) thanks to us talking right here – in this case it was I and Robert and you and Annick.
