I created an infographic (poster) that I could use in a classroom. I kept it simple. The teaching context is around CLB 2-4 so pictures and not too many words help. It would still need some explanation.
'Be on time' means that we must be here before the class starts (at least 10 min) to settle in, take off our coats, say hello to classmates, and get children settled in daycare, get things set up etc.
'No phones' means that we can have our phone in the classroom, but it must be on silent and away in their purse or backpack, not pocket.
Speak English means we should try and speak English in class as much as we can, even with classmates who speak the same language.
'Think and Ask' means to try and think first and if we have questions, then we should always ask.
'Listen to Others' means to make sure everyone has a chance to speak, and to not talk when others are speaking. Speaking is an important part of learning a language and we must give each other time.
'Homework helps' means that homework is assigned and if you do it, you will learn faster. Teachers always have lots of homework and preparation that they need to do too.
'Participate and Share' means that everyone should try and talk in the class and in their groups. The teacher is a good example by sharing personal experiences and stories with the class.
'Tell the Teacher' means that if you will be away, or if you are sick, of if you have a class problem, always tell the teacher. We will work to solve the problem.
'Fair and Safe' means that we will all be fair to each other, and create a safe space where everyone feels comfortable.
'Celebrate our Differences' suggests that we recognize that we come from different cultures and want to learn about each others cultures.
