Advocating

  appropriate time.
• Just raise your hand for help or to ask a
  question.

30
Advocating

• There are lots of different kinds of learners in
  this room, but none are smarter than others.
• Force yourself to ask questions!!!!
• This has nothing to do with personality or
  intelligence it is a strategy that anyone can
  use and improve

31
Advocating

• In high school and college, I made myself ask
  questions when I was stuck or unsure.

32

• It felt silly at the time, but I often noticed
  that people were writing down the teachers
  answer.
• What do you think that means?

33
My Desk

• The room ambassador or other assigned person may
  answer the phone if Im not behind my desk, but
  you should never be behind my desk. The Sarlacc
  lives there.

Learning Climate

  is not the end of using it we expect all staff
  and students to continue living Discovery at
  all times. (pg. 9)

36
Learning Climate

• I never remember the lessons I taught.
• I remember what students said and did!
• Without your participation, this is just an empty
  shell.

37

• If you sit like a bump on a log, classes will
  probably not be interesting, and you wont be
  able to pass the class.
• If you say to yourself, how can I strive to
  learn something today and help others do the
  same? then well have a great time.

Ice Breaker Time!

  cool facts about him/her, then introduce to the
  class. (60 seconds apiece, then 30 seconds per
  introduction)

Before You Leave

• Stand at your seat with the surrounding area
  cleaned.
• Get your process points signed.
• Take home the Parent Letter, and bring it back to
  me tomorrow with your parents signatures!

41
Equipment and Tools

• You need to be trained on using equipment before
  using it.
• Tools are not toys use them well and you will
  enjoy the privilege.

42

• There are right and wrong ways to use them. The
  wrong ways are wrong because they are unsafe for
  us and for the tools.
• The tools will be stored in the shed, with the
  exception of a few pots, seeds, and grow lights
  and heat mats.

43

• Proper use of tools is about being employable,
  and is about dignity and respect.
• Our goal is to be the finest gardening and
  landscaping workforce in the area we must learn
  to act like it.

44

• Your use of tools will be reflected in your daily
  process points as well as performance based
  scoring rubrics in the gradebook. I will provide
  these rubrics to you.
