After reading the form I noticed that is was very detailed (in a good way of course). The things Reach had that I didn't include were:
1. Classroom rules posted
2.Daily schedule posted
3.Goal tracking displayed
4.Models of quality work posted
5.Scoring rubrics displayed/provided
I would add #2 to my list. #4 I'd like to add but would need some ideas. #1 I don't like posting rules because students have told me that I'm too strict and posting rules would probably over-do it. Maybe I'd consider posting things like homework procedures. #'s 3 and 5 I have absolutely no experience with, so I wouldn't include these on my list.
I wouldn't add anything to this form. Teaching is an overwhelming job as it is, and having an infinite list of expectations will burn both the teacher and observer out.

Fair enough for stuff you haven't had experience with yet-- but hey-- that's why you're in the program, right? :-) We'll talk some more about classroom rules/guidelines when we get to the classroom community section, never fear. Keep plowing ahead! On to the big TOPIC #4!!
