A3 Also using Getting Along Together curriculum to set up protocols, and have Ss vote on CD categories for class goals

We do a lot of team building-Cup stacking, puzzle building challenges. They have to establish trust before we move on
-
A3 there's a great PBL on creating a classroom community will be starting with that this year
-
A3 Collaborative activities, give Ss ownership, & foster responsibility...our actions affect others.
-
I've found it best when T reads aloud & Ss read along silently. Everyone has a copy of the text.
-
A3: Listen to your Ss...they need a voice in creating their classroom community (Student Stories yay!). And always use
-
A3 Would love fresh ideas from the primary Ts! It has been a long time since I have been in the classroom!
-
what are the main intersections b/w PBIS and CD in your opinion??
-
It's an online tool to build communities & relationships in the classroom :-)
-
A3: I try to to a group team building activity each day for at least the first 2 weeks, + some individual ones.
-
-
so important in those first few weeks to acknowledge the good choices Ss are making!
-
A3 Really agree that including Ss voice in setting up the community builds ownership
-
-
A3 In the classroom, establish and practise carefully thought out routines to maximise learning time.
-
Write a mission statement as a class.
-
A3 Ss don't care what you know until they know how much you care.

Our goal is that 100% of our Ss meet schoolwide expectations of 80% or above. helps us monitor that.

When Ss want to read aloud, they choose favorite part, practice w/a partner, then read aloud for fluency & expression

This is absolutely fabulous!

-
A4: Even though you may feel like you are practicing till you're sick of it, practice more. In February you will be happy you did.
-
really great idea! What program did you use to make scavenger hunt?
-
A4 They must be explicitly taught and practised so they become embedded and efficient.
-
-
-
A4 keep reasonable expectations Ss are learning
-
A4 Building wide focus on SWPBS. Directly teach each appropriate behavior. Do not assume they know.
-
A4: write a script for yourself to teach, use guided practice to teach so Ss critique themselves, and post important routines

-
A3 "No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship." James Comer Getting to know my staff - who are my kids!
