5 Rules of Engagement (from Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind, by Eric Jensen)
1- Upgrade your attitude
2- Build relationships and respect
3- Get buy-in
4- Embrace clarity
5- Show your passion
Each rule has a brief summary and solutions you can use. I will print these for you and place them in your mailboxes on Monday. Take time to read the printout. When the 5 rules of engagement are in place and used consistently, instructional strategies work better and the flow of your classroom will be better too.
