--Are we "good" with the compact below? If not, please be ready to share some suggestions after I finish taking attendance.
COMPACT FOR WORK TIME
- Talking should be very limited.
- When talking must occur, get your peer's attention first and stay on task.
- I will use the consequence system that we have in place for lack of compliance.
- Listening to music via headphones is acceptable.
Let's also take a look (again!) at the three questions included on the assignment sheet.
