Essential Components

• Rules: instructing and reinforcing expected classroom conduct. 
• Routines and Procedures: instilling and practicing classroom and school procedures.
• Praises and Rewards: offering specific and affirmative recognition of desired and appropriate student behaviors.
• Engagement: implementing classroom activities and strategies that encourage active student participation.
• Misbehavior: implementing consistent intervention strategies for inappropriate student behaviors.

Important when it comes to grades and ungrading. Your final grade is a matter of the level of responsibility you have in the class. If it’s constantly on me to keep you on track, then your level of responsibility is low, and therefore you get a C.

But if you want an A, you take full responsibility.
