Keys to Success



Step 1 Respect me by being prepared to
learn: Come to class with an open mind
and all of your materials. Be prepared to
learn and practice new skills.
Step 2 Respect others by participating:
Raise your hand to speak. Treat others
with dignity. We are all here to learn
and improve. Our greatest resource is
one another.
Step 3 Respect yourself by being
persistent: In this class we don’t do
“easy”, we make things easy through
hard work and learning. I will challenge
you to become the best you can be.
Mistakes are part of the process. Give
your best effort every day.
