-
Hi all!!! I'm Kelley and I teach 1st grade in Illinois. I'll be in and out because of my son's swimming lessons.
-
Welcome, Christine! Thanks for joining! :)
-
-
A1: Incredibly important, it gives everyone a common ground to build on
-
helps us to set expectations that Ss are >80% to meet trimester reward; Dojo Party.
-
wow, that is early! When did you let out?
-
Noted!! :) haha thanks for clarifying!
-
A1 Super duper important. It sets the overarching tone of the campus community!
-
-
Nice!! When does school start for you?
-
A1: Campus-wide expectations are a vital link to a positive school culture. Practice what we preach and help those that can’t.
-
A1 Ss need to know it's consistent and school wide, not some Ts handling it one way and the rest of us another.
-
-
Q1 sets expectations. All teachers using same language and kids know
-
-
A1: So important for everyone to be on the same page.
-
A1 I feel like teaching needs to be a team effort esp in high school with diff subjects
-
Absolutely! This is Vital!
-
A1: So important for creating common language and follow up for all
-
A1: I'd say one of the most important things. Need that common language & goal to unify all.
-
universal language is often forgotten but important.
-
Our expectations are: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe. We are reward w/Dolphin Dollars & Dojo points for meeting these.
-
A1: It sets the foundation on which everything else builds
-
Totally agree! Common language is key
-
A1: High expectations for all that are CLEAR & CONSISTENT are key! Ss should be able to articulate expectations to others.
-
Jakki from South Carolina skidding in on two wheels...just a little late!!
-
A1 we tend to align academic language, however talk expectations go by the way-side
-
Nice! How are these values taught to kids?
-
Hi Wendy I just figured this out.
Brand new to and
-
A1: universal expectations are key too- for reading, writing the basics. Even in science we emphasize ela
-
our school uses common language, but it seems to mean different things (LeaDER IN mE)
-
Ours are the same and we all SAY them. Some don't PRACTICE them or enforce them though. NO GOOD. https://t.co/uvqATelhBc
-
-
Our expectations are: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe. We are reward w/Dolphin Dollars & Dojo points for meeting these.
-
clarity and consistency are important from the start of the day till the end in any area of the school.
-
Yes! Clear, consistent, and CONCISE! :)
-
A1b: If expectations are not consistent for ALL Ss we cannot effectively narrow the opportunity gap or do right by our Ss.
-
-
-
A1 - Super important! Something that my school REALLY needs to work on! First time working in a building that doesn't do this.
-
We create videos. Incorporate lessons in weekly school wide assembly such as How to Problem solve.
-
A1 nothing more frustrating when S says Mrs Dojo let's us go to the restroom at the end of class when it's school policy not to
-
A1 Oops, I meant that talk of expectations goes by wayside.. 1st Mistake, I must be learning here! :)
-
Are there outline or rubrics used with common language?
-
Tonya you rock!!! So happy you are here!! woo woo!
-
you can help change that.
-
there's a "guide" and descriptions, but it's certainly not implemented consistently in all classrooms
-
Sounds awesome! Love all the diff. modes of teaching and practicing!
-
Consistency among staff is key. That is why I am excited about being able to share students on other teachers.
-
-
A1- School wide expectations are important because kids- and new teachers- need stability. Consistency is key.
-
A1: If there is not a clear understanding, then there is not a positive & successful culture
-
A1 I feel Ss need consistency for success.
-
I'm there with you. It'se like the floor is shifting from under YOU as a teacher...& for Ss! :(
-
Got it. I guess follow through and implementations are just as imp. as creating the expectations!
-
A1 also hurts credibility with Ps. They question things like different grade scales, differing make up policies etc.
-
A2: That's a tough one. I think admin and teachers should collaborate and determine what's best for the school
-
A2 ctd. but in the end, admin needs to make it clear that these are expectations and not ideas
-
A2 Admin w/ help from T leaders should be responsible for school wide expectations. Everybody needs a voice.
-
Baby steps last year, hoping to make greater strides this year. Have earned the trust of my teachers now.
-
A2: I think determining expectations should come from all, setting the limits needs to come from campus leaders.
-
-
A2:Expectations for campus-wide expectations should be set by teachers and admin. If you have a character ed team they can .
-
A2: Teachers and Admin collaborating and then involving students too so it's not just top-down
-
A2 I believe leadership should set it for the building but I also set expectations for my room.
-
A2 district admin for district and school administrators for school. Ts are responsible for making sure they follow and implement.
-
that goes really well with the Leader in Me!
-
A1: In middle school, it's so important!! It helps when the expectations are the same for students all day!
-
Good morning Rizza here from Philippines joining in late
-
-
A2 expectations should be a school wide responsibility but Ts need to model and teach explicitly
-
A1- We have the same expectations for the entire district. It's important because the students move around a lot.
-
This is commonplace. Try to set T expectations &use PD time to go over how to teach behavior rather than expect it.
-
Good morning! I'm ready to go to bed! lol
-
Q2 Ts in collab. W/Ss under the framework of District and Schoolwide expectations.
-
A2 for behavior, we have a pbis committee of Ts and other staff.
-
A2 Collaboration is key so everyone feels they have ownership but admin needs to steer the wheel
-
A2: EVERYONE is responsible but it begins with admins, teacher leaders, & stakeholders! Step UP! https://t.co/QZRxenpQSP
-
A2: The community of Ts and all Staff as well as Ps and Ss
-
-
We came up w/school wide expectations as a Staff. Group of T led committee helps to keep us on track.
-
A2 for behavior, I never say expectations because it leaves a gray area. I use the word require.
-
A2- Ts meet as grade levels, then the grade level chair takes it to the Leaders meeting. This allow Ts and Admin to have a say.
-
-
A2 expectations should come from both admin and Ts to make it clear to both Ss and Ps
-
A2: has anyone tried flipping it and having students set their expectations before the teacher does?
-
-
Curious...how does it create gray area by saying expectations?
-
i've had students come up with a list of what they expect of me and what they expect of each other
-
-
-
Neat! I like the reciprocal nature of this!
-
Good point - or have Ss set expectations, and see how they they align with school-wide.
-
I did something like this when I taught 5th grade. They were harder on themselves than I would be!
-
A3: Start your year off by setting classroom rules/expectations together What do they expect from you, from each other
-
A2- I think that a group of Admin, Ts and Ss should come together to set schoolwide expectations.
-
student voice in that area is great.
-
A3: We are a Capturing Kid's Hearts school, so everyone creates a social contract in the first days and all sign it.
-
A3 Ts facilitate Ss discussion in setting expectations. Everybody is heard, but we steer them in the right direction ;-)
-
A3 expect means hope. Require means mandatory. We had a union deal over that my 2nd year teaching so it had me rethink wording.
-
A2- I think that a group of Admin, Ts and Ss should come together to set schoolwide expectations.
-
I would like to get them more involved like it is THEIR classroom not MINE
-
i certainly do some steering sometimes!
-
A3 Ss buy in when they feel they have a voice/choice.
-
A3 at the beginning of sch yr first activity w/ all classes is all about setting expectations from Ss perspective
-
Interesting. Never thought of it that way.
-
hmmm. You have me thinking now!
-
Hi Todd from NY joining late and for the fist time. HS assistant principal. Good evening!
-
A3 allow students to do periodic assessments of whats working, or not, in their learning environment and come up with solutions.
-
A3 I think using wording that is kid friendly and understandable is important.
-
A3:Student voice should not be ignored but should be included within reason. Select student leaders for input.
-
I would imagine it would create a more thoughtful classroom
-
Late again! Going to catch up with
Jason in Salem, Oregon here!
-
A3: ASK Ss & make sure to use L1 for equity. Ensure that Ss are not hearing 1 thing & seeing another. https://t.co/W1wJX5ifBU
-
A3 is very important Ss need to self assess & be involved in generating rules & behavior guidelines
-
Input from Ss on what school wide expectations look like, feel like, etc. using positive language to create anchor charts
-
-
Which sounds clearer? I expect you home at 11 or you must be home at 11
-
Hi! Jumping into my 1st ! A3: S groups create vision statements then compare to school code. Lots of similarities!
-
-
A3 Having discussions with Ss is def a way to give them a voice in expectations
-
I definitely think I will try this maybe with subject matter too- what they expect to learn
-
love that hashtag. A fellow K teacher here as well.
-
A3- My Ss help me create our class expectations/ rules. Tchr must teach/ protect/ love her Ss. How can her Ss help her do these?
-
-
Hi Jason!! Glad you're here! :)
-
A3:by asking them what they need to learn effectively in their classroom. What works/what doesn't. What they think and why.
-
A3 we surveyed kids to see what incentives we could use for pbis rewards
-
that is much better when you think about it
-
-
We do this through class meetings What will our dojo points will be for. What is going well, needs work? https://t.co/bnCQplEDcO
-
-
A3 allow students to do periodic assessments of whats working, or not, in their learning environment and come up with solutions.
-
How about, 'When you get home before 11, .....
-
-
A1: Critical if you expect consistency and buy-in!
-
-
-
A3: Create EOY Ss team that will help assess and current expectations and help improve
-
Is there a way to link the classroom list in dojo to a specials teacher such as art.
-
-
A2: Everyone should have a voice and choice. Ss, Ts, Ps, any stakeholders.
-
A1: VERY. Consistency is key. If ALL Ss and Staff know expectations the culture will shift into a more positive atmosphere
-
im on my 3rd mo so im in the groove already, you'll get through it! Get enough sleep! We need it😊
-
A3 I think I will ask Ss what they would like dojo points used for
-
-
you can share classes with teachers by inviting them and then sharing
-
-
A3: Create EOY Ss team that will help assess and current expectations and help improve
-
I believe that is the latest feature.
-
A1:....at the same time it must be enforced and communicated clearly and statement in student friendly terms
-
-
Q3 Isn't presenting persuasion arguments also a part of CCSS?!
-
A3: Depending on the grade level, students could form a committee where they meet regarding a school related agenda all year!
-
-
A3 I am also using flex seating this year for the first time, after I learn names.
-
-
A4 you could make a google form and share it on ClassStory!
-
A4 We send a survey to stakeholders at EOY to plan for next year & shape our framework.
-
I do it 'as needed' but at least once per marking period.
-
A3: Ss need to be invited to the discussion. Too often we think we know better. More often, THEY do. Ss know what works for them.
-
Agreed! Interested to know, how does your school do this?
-
A2: EVERY single human body in the school. Starts with principal as soon as the Ss step on campus- then to cafeteria & then to Ts
-
Especially ELLs!!! They are EXTREMELY sensitive to this!
-
agree thats the most important that Ss can understand what we want to see in our classes
-
-
Share at P led meetings like PTA or ELAC.
-
Thanks Danise! Glad I could make it!
-
A4 Parents should be aware! If your district uses behavior rubrics publish them. Do not forget about parents and community members.
-
A3: we create a classroom constitution at beginning of year. We all sign (including principal); displayed outside of classroom
-
Have a great night fellow Dojoers I have to prep for my presentation tomorrow to share all that is CLASSDOJO
-
I have a feeling I will be 'borrowing' this idea!
https://t.co/YcnkUvejKT
-
-
A4 you could make a google form and share it on ClassStory!
-
What.Is.Up ? Tweets are flooding in today!
-
A4 Ps serve on some committees, ask for help beyond the PTA also.
-
-
We make it a priority to have a town hall mtg at B2S BBQ for Ss to share what worked and didn't last year.
-
A3: as a future principal I would have a school/community constitution signed and displayed outside of the school
-
-
Awesome! You're going to ROCK it! :)
-
-
A4 Ps need to be involved in creating school culture Ts explain that behaviors shouldn't just be at school bunt in community too
-
I think as a bell ringer I may have students dive in deeper into our class environment. is giving me ideas hmmm
-
ooo yikes! Hope you are okay!
-
like that town hall idea. Do you get good participation?
-
HAVE FUN! You will be amazing!
-
Well hello Jenna. Things are good! How you doin'?
-
-
A4 That's a very good question. I know we tell Ps about them but I don't remember asking them for input.
-
A4 we survey parents too over various topics
-
Spread that Dojo love ALL around! Good luck! https://t.co/TwyVK0n3tB
-
-
Have a great night fellow Dojoers I have to prep for my presentation tomorrow to share all that is CLASSDOJO
-
A4: parents must feel as if they are welcomed first. Encourage volunteer days for parents; have them sit in on PLCs/SIT meetings
-
A4: Connect Ps to & give them a window into their Ss day! The translation features & student stories...!!!
-
A4: Same as 3...make sure you invite them to the conversation. Our CSIP committee includes Ss, Ps, Ts, and BOD.
-
Sounds like a productive and fun event!! Do you re-asses mid-year?
-
Same ol same ol. School year in full swing yet?
-
We do! It's a scheduled event, so Ss don't have to choose btwn bounce house and Town Hall.
-
Yaaas! 3rd day done & done! Only 177 more to go! :D
-
A4- Ps are encouraged to join CD and attend PTA meetings. Expectations are covered, any concerns are addressed.
-
A4 make sure expectations are discussed/shared in multiple ways/formats.
-
Constantly assessing throughout the year. Our model is and Ss run their own gov't as part of it.
-
A4 we have a P portal where we send out notes and sch expectations to Ps but my K parents love connecting w/ me thru
-
love that you tap into all types of learners. What ways are you using?
-
A4: as school community parents must be aware of ALL events & happenings in school. If they know they have voice they will do more
-
-
-
We always have our Open House BBQ but what a great idea to make it a productive meeting too!
-
Really neat! Will have to learn more about that!
-
Hey sorry I am late. Looks like a great chat. Im Melissa from Katy TX
-
A5 Unfortunately, at our school they don't have much say, but they should. They def. enforce expectations!
-
-
I It's a great chance for the kids to show ownership. They can always go to the Legislature later too.
-
A4 We talk about academics etc at Parent Universities. I now think we need to add more about behavior and work expectation.
-
Hey Melissa! Thanks for joining! :)
-
Ha! Well...that's 177 more days to ninjafy those kiddos with your mad skillz!
-
Must leave early! My Pp just got here from AZ. Will look back @ chat for resources and ideas. Thanks so much!
-
A5 1/2 : Admin, faculty and support staff need to be all in. Celebrate small moments as often as you can.
-
-
All is well!! New school year under-way yet??
-
So many skillz! I'm on it!
-
It's a neat model! We're starting our 6th year. Come visit anytime!
-
-
A5 cafe workers should be a part of their policies, custodians for theirs etc. Bus drivers should be consulted on bad weather days
-
A5 2/2It is important that all staff be aware of schoolwide rules. If your school does not have them act on it.
-
A5: Non-teaching staff should have the same role in creating/ following those school wide requirements as Ts.
-
Oh yeah..full swing with all the surrounding districts in the county now.
-
yes!! is a great way to start!
-
That would be awesome! Did staff have to attend a training?
-
A5 I think it's best if everyone has a voice.
-
A5: If they are affected by the expectations, shouldn't they also have their voices heard?
-
A5: ALL school staff have a stake. Bus drivers, janitors, security, paras... EVERYONE! We ALL impact Ss! https://t.co/8dWZ3vz8BO
-
A4: send home a questionnaire about what Ps are looking for based on their Ss needs. Explain the parameters and ask for input.
-
A4 I think back to school night should be about school wide issues like work ethic, behavior etc Get P input and inform about pbis
-
I meant to get on sooner but it's been a hectic day! It looks like it's been a great chat though!
-
I think a school is a community and everyone contributes. Custodial staff keeps everything clean & running https://t.co/DUlQi8ftnh
-
A5 setting up all staff to recognize students meeting expectations in the DOJO! prevent reporting to teacher about outside
-
-
I hesitated to respond to this one bc I think it's much the same at mine.
-
A5 Everyone should be included. I think it would definitely help with consistency of expectations.
-
A5: they are integral! Ss must see them as the same as faculty or admin member. They need to hold Ss to the same expectations.
-
Our custodian is an Artist and teaches kids to be creative!
-
We just got brand new admin, so I'm sure it will be diff. next year!
-
We did schoolwide training 1st 3 yrs . Now, planning training falls largely on me as the Coordinator.
-
-
Q5: it's also important students show respect to others outside of the classroom or with admin. Including keeping the classrm neat
-
-
A5 we include all staff in our spotlights, nurse, treasurer, custodians, cafe workers, have all been included
-
A4: Simple solution, get them in the class and talk with you while talking about it with your Ss
-
A6 Restate expectations & try again. We all make mistakes. :D
-
The campus wide expt sets the tone and positivity of the school culture. They unite staff to a common goal https://t.co/JEQSxPqxCO
-
A5: We have Celebrations of Learning each 9 weeks and support staff, Encore and admin. all join in on the fun.
-
A5 they are as important as any stakeholders they uphold sch wide expectns & consistently follows it up along w/ Ts, admins & Ps
-
Be like Gumby & be flexible! And model that specifically for kids to see
-
lol that’s so amazing. i want one. Not of me, but of you. lol
-
A6: Examine, and learn from our mistakes and role model this with students
-
A6; Reevaluate. Are expectations realistic? Yes, restate, try again. No, rewrite & make sure everyone knows.
-
A6 "when things don't go as planned, change the plan, BUT NEVER THE GOAL!"
-
Everyone should set expts. The school community needs to be united and feel connected to each other. https://t.co/IUOSkzRyA3
-
We do a monthly character education assembly and focus on a theme.
-
What a great idea! What format does this have/
-
A5- If you're working with Ss in our building, you have a say. Teacher, Admin, Secretary, Cafeteria, Custodian...
-
A6: Remember in teaching, we are always in the "beta" phase of implementation. Constantly re-evaluating https://t.co/XtxbLNmiwe
-
Every staff member plays a role in teaching children: character, hard work, passion, and love of community.
-
A6 reflect on what went wrong and what went well & revise the wrongs and start again
-
love me a good role model! ?
-
New admin this year for us too. We're setting these expectations right now.
-
-
A6: deep breath. Review. Reset.
-
-
A6: I also point out when things go wrong and talk through problem-solving. I give LOTS of examples! 😉
-
A6: Suck it up buttercup! =)
-
Wow I love this idea! https://t.co/N2YI9OBWM8
-
-
A5: We have Celebrations of Learning each 9 weeks and support staff, Encore and admin. all join in on the fun.
-
A6: things not going as planned? That never happens.
-
A6: Reflect, retool, and refine! We can’t always have success. Collaborate and support each other every day.
-
Surveys lets them have a voice. I always ask my Ss why they are proud of the school & How can we be better https://t.co/vaLh3sNuyB
-
A6- If Plan A doesn't work out, there are 25 other letters to use. Take a breath, shake it off, and move forward.
-
A6 discuss as a staff, learn from mistakes and tweek where needed
-
HA HA.. I tell them, you can cry, but you can't quit!
-
Sounds great- What does this look like at your school?
-
A6: Kidding. Sort of... But we have 2 choices. 1) Fall apart. 2) Deal with it and move on.
-
A6: Seriously though. Reflect and reevaluate.
-
A6: Growth mindset and try again...and again, and again, but always keep all included
-
great reminder. Focus on what went right as well. Sometimes we only reflect on the bad.
-
Yes! Gotta keep moving forward
-
A6 Definitely a great opportunity to model how to handle a situation when it doesn't go the way you want it to.
-
Parents should visit frequently and given opp to give their input. Ps are apart of school community too. https://t.co/7sCoZoYO1R
-
A6 If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. 😊
-
All about the visuals since my Ss are all ELLs! Helps in ALL situations. :)
-
A6: Always have a plan for Non-Dojo behaviors,,, keep the Dojo a happy place! <3
-
A5: they have the most important part! They are the backbone 2 school. They need 2 set tone and mood and assure Ss about expect.
-
we can reflect and do this via informal mentoring, PLC meetings and faculty meetings, Google Hangouts after hours.
-
-
A6: reflect, talk with peers and ask Ss what they think. Gather info to make decisions going forward.
-
-
-
-
Always be willing to adjust. Listen to critiques & always strive to be the best. Be open to change. https://t.co/cHgx5QdsNx
-
-
A7: We do monthly celebrations for kids who have 80% positive or higher. Class sets point goal to develop team work.
-
A6: Srsly: acknowledge the fact it didn't work out. Plan again, resume composure and muster on. https://t.co/nGRyrlZEni
-
A7 All the things provides us can be used to monitor & celebrate meeting expectations!!
-
You have to plan for as many variables as possible but be flexible for the unknown. Teachers could be Olympic gymnasts!
-
A7 When I was in classroom we had a weekly Class Dojo meeting to discuss what needed improvement and celebrate what was working.
-
Which features are your fav. to use?
-
A7: has to be part of that schoolwide buyin and actively used. With new directory, makes that much easier!
-
HEY ! Joining in late…body day! Bryan here, Director of Ed Tech & Innovation, and Ed Community Manager for Wonder Workshop
-
A7: I love using to show Ss what my expectations look like in the real world. Student reports & stories are amazing!
-
A7: Pull reports, data chat, & brag w/ Messages home when successful!
-
A7 Our principal draws names for treats for those who have gotten positive points.
-
Points & ClassStory! And of course the messaging! Excited to use StudentStories, too!
-
So true. Having a clear mission statement & a solid expectations sets the school culture. https://t.co/VaWvHZfrIo
-
-
A1: High expectations for all that are CLEAR & CONSISTENT are key! Ss should be able to articulate expectations to others.
-
I was trying to think how it doesn't! Dojo is designed for exactly this purpose.
-
A7: Celebrate and recognize academic, social, emotional, and behavioral growth. Do not overdo it!
-
Hey ! Joining late…busy day! Bryan CEO & Director of Innovation for and Ed Community Manager at Wonder Workshop
-
Nice!! Yeah I like the Student Stories adds another student-centered element! :)
-
A7 Using School Story, set a school-wide goal and classrooms can celebrate if/ when they reach it. Gotta make it big for S buy-in!
-
A7: Ts in our school give weekly incentives based on reaching Dojo goals. Our parents monitor as well https://t.co/dwlCQsemXq
-
A7 I use it to celebrate good behavior, catching them doing the right thing

We use school wide, so our whole community hinges on expectations & how CD helps us celebrate & share them.

A6- If Plan A doesn't work out, there are 25 other letters to use. Take a breath, shake it off, and move forward.

A7 I found the weekly parent reports VERY effective. My parents starting talking "Class Dojo"

Actually, I read a great article about swearing at your children. Just doing it in your head, of course.

-
LOVE our school wide dojo use! Looking forward to yr 2 of use & even more focus on the positives going on!
-
School Story was a GREAT addition! Probably my fave so far. Tremendous use for S/H connections.
-
A7: Also, share your class with principal & watch Ss faces when he "magically" rewards them points from his office! Loads of fun!
-
does everyone set the same behaviors/needs work or is that up to teachers?
-
Same!! Everybody loves it! Such positive feedback!
-
A7 success in sch is celebrated thru pts and Ps are notified w/ their childs accomplishment abd tbey can reinforce + behaviors

It is so imp to disc what went wrong, admit the mistake, and seek input for correcting. https://t.co/4jUvW9aGZi

A6: Srsly: acknowledge the fact it didn't work out. Plan again, resume composure and muster on. https://t.co/nGRyrlZEni

Has anyone used dojo in high school classes? I love the idea of having a class story- but will they like the characters?
-
Individual Ts for the most part. Respect & Responsibility are must haves across the board.
-
parent meetings/dojo class stories/school stories/newsletter/phone calls/website
-
we have some in common (safe, respectful, responsible) and the rest are T determined.
-
A7: have dojo points aligned w/ expectations and run wk/mo. Report on those points share via school story and assess with team

A7 Using School Story, set a school-wide goal and classrooms can celebrate if/ when they reach it. Gotta make it big for S buy-in!

We have a few schoolwide, but some that are Ts specific.

My Ss' minds were blown when our Admin gave them points in the hallway from her phone. Made their day!
-
we have been using Dojo campuswide for awhile now, but just starting PBIS this year

Can Ss create their own character yet? Some of my Ss last year wanted hats.

A7: it should/could serve as the "machine" behind the motivation of meeting the expectations. It creates an atmosphere.....

A HS T used w/ novels to where the dojo avatars were the characs in book. Gave pts to characs when MT.

A8 expectations shd be clear, comm w/ Ps a must, Ss voice shud be acknowledged, inspired by
