Info I give students when discussing my role in the classroom:
Because I struggle with wanting to “help” students too much, I created this chart. It’s useful to me; if you’re unclear about my expectations, looking at this may be useful to you too.
| What teachers need to do (teacher responsibilities) |
What students need to do (student responsibilities) |
| Create assignments and activities that he/she thinks will help students learn Have realistic (but challenging) expectations for students Make expectations for students clear Provide a safe, comfortable, intellectual environment Provide students opportunity to go above teacher when students seem to want or need that option Tell students how to work technology; encourage them to test it Provide help to students who want it; let students know help is available Refer students to support services when students need it or seem to want it Follow HCC guidelines Offer genuine praise when student is doing well Respond to student work in a clear, respectful way Show students how to find info when they ask for it |
Complete assignments to the best of their ability Read assignments Ask questions when they do not understand/agree with expectations Ask questions when they do not understand a concept, assignment, activity, etc. Obtain the appropriate materials for class; bring appropriate materials to class Test the technology before major assignments are due Students need to be willing and have the ability to get help (make it to a conference, give a phone call, etc.) Students need to seek out support when they need it; the teacher can’t go to the tutor for the student Follow college guidelines Contribute to class meaningfully Make it to class on time Set aside time for and ask for help researching |
