More Rules



Laptop computers will be standard in the class available for use for research and other relevant work. However, when not in use the computers will be expected to stay in backpacks or in student spaces. This is particularly important because the classroom will get messy at times and we need to keep the digital devices safe.


Mobile phones should be kept safely with the student in silent mode. Note taking will be on the laptop and all images and slides will be shared in a google drive.

Mobile phones can be used for teacher specified apps or to take video or audio if relevant.


Tardiness rules and procedures will follow the school norms. When I speak with a student about being late or unprepared I will comment on the behavior not the person.

When a pattern of difficult behavior becomes apparent I can speak to the student one-on-one and try to problem solve. If the behavior continues I can begin to input behavior data in the PBIS Behavior Tracker Spreadsheet.

TRANSITIONS

MANAGING TRANSITIONS "Transitions are times when students move from place to place or from activity to activity." (Kaizen Teaching, 2015) HUMOR  I created a pinterest board with many cartoons and jokes so I can pull them out to lighten the mood.    Humor SETTLING/STARTER ACTIVITIES Things students can do as soon as they enter class. CRITIC IT! A small piece of paper with this printed out is laid on the student's desk: Project a work of art on the screen. As soon as students sit down they can start writing their critique of the work. This gets the students engaged and depending on the work of art chosen reinforces class content. As an exit ticket the students might read out something from their critique. I created a pin board with works of art that can be projected.  The works of art come from the Tate Artworks ‘The Colour That Was There’, Gillian Ayres OBE, 1993 | Tate DRAW IT!
