STEPH’S EXPECTATIONS:

 

I try my best to create a positive environment for our class - please bring a positive attitude to our meetings.

 

Please make an effort to provide a solution with every complaint you have.

 

This is a cooperative class; I am here to help you and challenge you, and not to exclude you or decide your fate in this course.

 

Team-based learning is an amazing way to figure out our strengths and weaknesses - the more you participate, the more you learn about yourself as a person!

 

I encourage creative ideas and out-of-the-box thinking; never be afraid to share your ideas.

 

If you are arguing a point, you will need to provide valid evidence and avoid logical fallacies - especially if the topic is something controversial

My focus is on self-efficacy.

 

This course is designed with one, very specific intent:

 

To help students know what they need to learn, learn what they need to learn, and know that they learned what they need to learn. 

Welcome to Literature, Steph-style!

 

Ways this English class might be Unique:

  1. I will not be lecturing, but I will be your guide!

  2. I will be a facilitator for your own learning experience.

  3. Students will be assigned teams on the first day of class (or their arrival into the class), in which they will work throughout the term.

  4. The grading system is specs-based, not percentages.

  5. this will be a “choose-your-own-adventure” course, meaning...

  6. Students will have a lot of control over what they learn and how they learn it.

  7. Class & Team participation is a necessary component for success in this course.

  8. We will have fun!
