Door greeting: high fives, fist bumps, “good morning” “glad you’re here”

Calendar: I (Shafer) does something specific; I go over the date and forecasted weather as well as countdowns to the next break. Especially during the rain season, this helps kids plan clothing accordingly.

Classroom points: based on behavior and staying on tasks. At the end of the month, class party/break/activity

Actually follow school policies so there is perceived unity and solidarity amongst teachers

I keep “class participation points” for each class. If they are well behaved as a collective class period, they earn a point, and once they earn X amount of points, they are rewarded with a party day. I’ve found it incentivizes students to hold each other responsible and self police each other.

Behavior expectations. When we chose a word from our social contract to work on for the day I ask 3 bonus CKH questions. “How can I as your teacher do [this] for you?” “How can you do [this] for each other?” And “How can you do [this] for me?” This helps set the tone for how we are going to act and speak (when asked to) during instruction and group/individual work

Keep calm and remember that they may be just as frustrated as you. It’s not easy learning a new subject of language.

Cell phones are only for academic use. If caught using another way, I just say "phone" and it is turned in until the end of the period. Students must say "I'm sorry" to get their phone back.

Allow independent time to work on assignments in class and choose seats if they are on good behavior and being productive

Students can redo or retake ANY assignment at ANY point in the semester to improve their original score. When used with teacher discretion, you may get more engagement from students who might have originally checked out due to early low test scores.

Asking students how they're doing, even if they just give one worded answers, eventually warms them up to you in the long run

Students are given time in class to complete work and have the chance to take it home if they need additional time. The students that finish x number of questions correctly get an incentive, typically snacks.

I made bathroom passes worth extra credit at the end of the semester if not used. If students don't use a pass, they lost a participation point. Over 5 minutes costs another participation point.

Cellphone use is not permitted unless the activity calls for an electronic device. The activity that requires an electronic device is graded and goes into the grade book. If a student is found using a cellphone inappropriately (scrolling through tiktok) or anything like that, the phone is confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the class. The student is then given a Chromebook so they can continue to participate in the activity.

Bathroom: students get no more than 10 minutes to take care of business and cannot use the restroom the first 10 or the last 10 of class.
