Riley’s Code of Chivalry

by
  1. I will have the courage to teach my students the best way I know how, even if that means embarrassing myself or questioning people/policies that I don’t think are in the best interest for my students. I got your back, guys!
  2. I will hold myself to the same expectations that I have for my students, whether it be for behavior or academics. I understand what is equal is not always just, and because of that, I have to treat people differently.
  3. I will be merciful in my grading and my words. I will forgive students when they are having a bad day and hope that they, too will forgive me when I am having a bad day. I will let them redo assignments if they learned the material.
  4. I will be generous with my time. If a student needs help, I will help them before school, during Panther Den, during lunch, and after school. I will spend time reading what they write. If they take the time to do an assignment, I’ll take the time to grade it.
  5. I will be faithful to the mission statement of the school, “Empowering lives through learning.” I will be faithful to my students and not intentionally betray them. I will be honest and truthful with my grades, assignments, and report cards.
  6. I will not only be the best teacher that I can be for my students, I will continue to try and improve. I will make sure that my actions help my students and that I do not intentionally hurt them academically, socially, or emotionally. I want my students to graduate from Klein Oak with the skills necessary to accomplish their goals and to look back on my classroom with fond remembrance.
  7. I will try my best to make sure that my classroom is a safe place for all learners. No one should come to my classroom feeling nervous or like they don’t belong. Even if they fail an assignment, I want them to have hope that they can pass my class and graduate. I will be hopeful when they cannot. I will uphold the Texas Educator’s Code of Ethics and be the kind of teacher that I want my own children to have one day.

The Seven Knightly Virtues

The Athlete’s Code of Chivalry

Moral Themometer

by

A themometer measures temperrature – today, we will create a themometer that measures morality.

Things that need to be included on the poster:
1. A Title
2. Themometer with the ten main characters and Isaac Morris on the scale in order of the guilt that you have assigned.
3. An explanation of what each person’s crime was and a justification of *why* you placed it where you placed it (print and paste on the poster)
4. A definition of morality

Remember, in the infamous words of the Bollato – before you can “frost and sprinkle”, you have to “bake the cake”.
