Three headings or "perspectives" for our contract.

  • What I expect from my tutor
  • What I expect from my classmates
  • What my tutor can expect from me

Why might a class contract be important for us?

1. It is a potentially stressful course requiring peer feedback

2. Honesty and self-reflection are needed

3. It should be a safe haven to admit failure and to experiment

4. There is a mix of backgrounds and levels of confidence, so contract can help us appreciate this

Why might a class contract be useful in your class?

1.Identification of norms and expectations (are they reasonable or not?)

2.Behaviour management tool (prevention being better than cure - evidence suggests a 28% reduction in poor behaviour can be achieved by having clear rules and procedures)

3.Group bonding
