Sample Syllabus Statement
In order for learning to take place, students must feel safe; this safety is due all students, not only those
who share your values and beliefs. For this reason, courtesy, thoughtfulness, and acceptance are essential in
our discussions in and out of the classroom. Acceptance should not be confused with agreement; one need not
agree with a person to listen, and one must listen well in order to disagree respectfully. Every student in
this course has a voice and so deserves the courtesy of attentive listening and the freedom to express
diverse ideas.
