About the Project



Great Expectations


Yarmouth High School teachers are exploring and developing understanding around our school-wide expectations.
  • Communicate effectively;
  • Exhibit personal responsibility, civic engagement, and global awareness;
  • Work independently and collaboratively;
  • Demonstrate critical, creative, and innovative thinking;
  • Develop understanding through inquiry, research, and synthesis.
Each post written by a teacher will explore an expectation and its application to the classroom.  

The goals of this project are:

  • develop better understanding about these key ideas in our practice
  • extend the conversation to include the process of writing
  • bring in new resources to our community
  • improve the inter-discipline approach in our school

Our Leadership Team crafted this document that helps us define and use the school-wide expectations: School-Wide Expectations Descriptions and Resources.
