Citizenship: 10% of your grade
Classroom, learning is participatory and communal—we advance together, struggle together and work towards a positive environment together. This requires CITIZENSHIP: individuals working to strengthen our classroom community and staying aware of how one's actions impact others. CITIZENS are engaged and freely express views.
I expect that you will contribute to making our community safe and intellectually challenging. I expect that students will not use language that is insulting, derogatory or makes others feel uncomfortable, including comments that denigrate people by race, nationality, religion and gender identity — EVEN IF IT IS NOT DIRECTED AT A CLASSROOM MEMBER. I expect that students who hear or witness behavior or speech that denigrates others will speak up and protect the norms of a safe and respectful classroom. I expect that students will strive to listen to views and experiences that are different and assume they lack knowledge and insight into others' experiences. I expect that each student will strive to use the preferred gender pronouns of their classmates.
At the end of each quarter, you will reflect on your learning from that quarter and evaluate how well you performed as a classroom citizen
