Chapter 6: Social Context of Schools

I created a template for a classroom contract against low language towards other people. It is located at www.nctmjosh.wikispaces.com. The areas of the page are left blank because I believe that in order for the students to really own the rules they have to be the ones to come up with them. We will have a brainstorming session in class to establish the guidelines for the contract. Once we have agreed on a good set of rules, all of the students will sign the bottom of the contract. The scale of the paper is off; this activity would be done with a large piece of poster paper that can be hung on the wall.
