High Expectations

An article in Teacher Magazine showed that although a majority of teachers and principals believe that having High Expectations for their students is important, a small amount of teachers and principals believe that all their students can succeed academically. We often talk about having high expectations for our students. Our classes teach us to make sure our expectations for our student's achievements are high, but it would be helpful to talk about what this looks like in a classroom. How can we have high expectations for our students on a day to day basis? How will actually having high expectations change our classrooms and our students?
