Do You Have New Year's Resolutions/Goals for Your Classroom?
This school year has been a year of trying new things and starting over to try to get things working better....

I have one more to add after a conversation with another science teacher, and the SIOP training that I went through earlier this year.
I want to try to make the day's agenda and learning objectives more transparent to the students. I do have an agenda board posted, and we spent time on it at the start of school, but I am assuming by now that they know its there. I think I may be wrong. I'm going to devote 5 minutes each day on those business parts of class:
-- agenda and objectives
--classroom jobs
--checking in on classdojo points and giving time to cash in for prizes
-- organization (table of contents, attaching things into journal) and making sure they have homework written down
I will report back here in a couple weeks and see if it makes a difference....

Tara,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that these common, everyday things need to be revisited. I am also trying to do a better job keeping up with rewards and drawing their attention to daily objectives as well as reminding them of the class rules.
I am so glad I found your blog and would love for your to visit mine when you get a chance!
Thanks,
Patti :)
