Classroom Expectation Contributed by Monique Schutte I teach ICT for KS4 students and I have decided to design a PowerPoint Presentation about classroom expectations. I will show this PowerPoint Presentation (attached document) at the start of each year to inform new students what my expectations in the classroom are and to reinforce the Code of Conduct to existing students. The PowerPoint Presentation will cover the classroom procedure, the school’s code of conduct, consequences for poor behaviour and also the reward system for good behaviour. I hope by showing this to my students, it will show them what my expectations are and how I will deal with behaviour according to the Code of Conduct. All resources in the "Contributions" section of our resource bank have been submitted by delegates on our Taking Care of Behaviour Online course.
