The CIS Model could assist my school by providing much needed counseling services to our students and families. They could help provide more one-in-one instruction to struggling students. Also, they could help decrease the poverty level in our area. #bc5243
There are times when I get to sit down with students and work one on one with them. I believe this is essential to make every student feel like they matter and that I care about them. #bc5243#teacherefficacy
I apply high expectations in my classroom by reminding every student that I expect them to pass my class with A’s. I try to tell them that low/failing grades should not be accepted or praised. Also, I expect my students to exhibit behaviors appropriate for their ages. #bc5243
My school relies on out-of-school suspensions very heavily. I think that a useful alternative would be in-school suspensions. If we had the resources to conduct in-school suspensions, then students could still be present at school and learn what they need to learn. #bc5243
It is important for teachers to explain the rules to students so that they understand what is expected of them. The reasoning behind the rules should be explained because that that will help the students understand why rules are necessary and valuable. #bc5243
I like the idea of using Skype or FaceTime for parent conferences. These can be done at the convenience of the parents. Also, i use Facebook messenger to talk with parents. More parental involvement could be encouraged by creating events and sharing them online. #bc5243
This is how my desks are situated at different parts of the day. My class works as a family when we complete book work. Also, my discipline system requires every individual student to act responsibly for the sake of the entire group/family. #bc5243
I always try to keep a positive attitude as a teacher because I know that all of my students are watching every move I make. #edu2212#bc5243 https://t.co/1fl5gBFX9B
To build novelty in my classroom, I try to include humor into my daily instruction. This encourages my students to relax. Also, it helps me to create a fun, positive learning environment. I usually attempt to make the students laugh every day. #edu5143
