I can explain what the question is asking for.

I can explain my thinking behind my work.

I check my work carefully during or after I finish a question.

When I am stuck on a question, I show perseverance by trying a new method or asking for help.

When I am stuck on a question, I use what I know to find a place to start.

Joyful Collaboration

1. I practice listening to my instructor and sharing my ideas to co-create understanding.
2. I attempt tasks independently and ask my instructor questions when I need help.

Unlimited Curiosity

1. I take ownership of my learning by asking meaningful questions both when I need clarification and when I want to know more about a topic.

Nimble Determination

1. I practice resilience when I am frustrated that I have not yet achieved mastery of a new concept or skill; instead of complaining about challenges, I try new approaches and creative solutions.

Investment in Excellence

1. I arrive to class on time and prepared to learn, with my computer set up with a strong internet connection.
2. I complete my homework on time, and if I cannot complete my homework due to other obligations, I honestly communicate the reasons for late homework to my instructor.
3. I do my best to stay present and on task for the whole session. I support my focus by putting away any distracting technology and setting notifications on my device to “do not disturb” mode.
