Our Class Creed

Written By: migliurit

We are a Class that has a class creed

Our class creed is a step-by-step process to achieve specific learning goals. We have five agreements which we honour:

  • Attentive Listening
  • Appreciation/No Put Downs
  • Mutual respect
  • The Right to Pass
  • Personal Best

Students learn a set of collaborative skills so they can work well together in long-term groups. The focus is on how to:

  • help each other work on tasks
  • set goals and solve problems
  • monitor and assess progress
  • celebrate achievements

The learning of academic material and self-responsible behaviour is assured because teachers that run a c class creed classroom utilize methods based upon brain-compatible learning, multiple intelligences, cooperative learning and social development research.

Thousands of schools throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries have begun using class creeds. This results in safe and caring environments in which kids can do well! After years of “fix-it” programs focused on reducing student violence, conflict, absenteeism, poor achievement, etc., educators and parents now agree, creating a positive school or classroom environment is the most effective way to improve behavior and learning.

Students achieve because they:

  • feel included and appreciated by peers and teachers
  • are respected for their different abilities, cultures, gender, interests and dreams
  • are actively involved in their own learning
  • have positive expectations from others that they will succeed.

The clear purpose of the class creed process is to assure the healthy development of every child so that each one has the knowledge, skills and resiliency to be successful in a rapidly changing world.
