To Do List- Know students names - Create classroom rules that fit the criteria - Create an attention signal - Establish effective beginning + end routines - Establish tech use procedures - Create transition expectations - Create expectations for activities |
|
Know Students NamesFirst and foremost... know students names.
Create ways to learn names FAST: - assigned seats - seating chart - name tents- require that students put them up daily for 2 weeks |
|
Example:
Rule 1. Be Respectful Rule 2. Be Responsible Rule 3. Be Honest Notice how countless expectations could land under these rules. For example, bringing their Chromebook could land under Be Responsible. Cursing at a classmate could land under be respectful. |
Suggestions:
Opening Activities
- assigned seats/create a seating chart so they know their seat
- students should begin their warm-up immediately
- take out materials immediately
- put away phones
- one earbud in
End Routine
- students should complete a CLOSURE/exit ticket (MUHSD Must Have)
- stay seated until the bell rings (fire hazard to stand by door, and kids might sneak out)
Reminder: The BCHS expectation is to teach bell-to-bell.
Tips to stretch your lesson bell-to-bell:
- establish expectations: announce that students MUST sit at their desks until the bell rings
- ensure you have a CLOSURE
- ask students to pair-share their closure
- review the learning target to have students reflect if they met the target
- announce the plan for the next day, and require students sit during the announcement
- take notes on how long activities take so you don't have big time gaps
Loaners
- you are allowed to check-out loaners for your classroom- see library staff to check them out!
