Course Syllabus - Middle School or High School, Student-Centered Classroom!

With this syllabus, you can set up your class year to have a student-centered classroom build on mutual respect and accountability. This sample syllabus is easy to navigate for both teachers and students, and includes all applicable sections needed for a successful school year.

For each section, we have included recommendations and examples of how you can communicate relevant information. You need a syllabus that is the "holy text" for your classroom, for your entire school year. With this syllabus, this is a launching point to ensure that students refer back to this document regularly and have a clear message as to your classroom environment.

BONUS MATERIALS:

With this resource, you will also receive a "syllabus scavenger hunt" that you can use to ensure that students have read and understand your syllabus. Gone are the days of "sit and get," where your students aren't engaged and forget the entire syllabus by the next class.

In addition, we have included a link to an "Inclusive Classroom" policy (bilingual in English and Spanish), as well as a sample district "Portrait of a Graduate" and social studies writing rubric.
