I believe that expectations in a class are the basis for success. If past teachers of mine hadn't set any expectations how would I have known what to strive for or what was expected of me. In most of my classes in the past the expectations have been set right at the beginning of the semester or the start of the class. The classroom I am in for the first half of my student teaching placement has been so great. When I first entered the class I could tell just by looking around the room that it was going to be a great learning experience.
The classroom setting and what is around the room can also influence expectations and how students behave. In the elementary setting when there is a schedule and goals (What will I learn today?) set at the beginning of the day it helps the students know what is expected of them throughout the day. We also set expectations at the beginning of the year by holding the students accountable for their actions. The whole class signed an agreement to follow the rules agreed on and those are the expectations for the whole class for the rest of the year. I hope to follow these examples that have been set by my cooperating teaching in future teaching experiences.
