One thing I could tighten is holding conversations after students are being mean and rude. They are so quick to act this way that they aren't thinking through what they're saying. I need to hold better restorative conversations to illuminate how rude they can be so they can realize it, fix it, and be better.

At the staff retreat, I would like to have a conversation about our PBIS and plan out how we implement the Longfellow Way and our HOW competencies in the classroom, hallways and all spaces of our school. I would like for us to have grounding academic goals (whether we all norm around an AVID strategy or Cultivating Genius) and have us be trained in these strategies and then plan for how we will actively practice them in our classroom and present these in our PLPs. These are two very important conversations that go hand-in-hand because unless our students are safe, respectful, responsible & allies then I can actually teach students and bring the academic rigor that our students need and deserve. I would love to also talk about reading and develop a culture of reading at our school.

First, a teacher needs to have a clear and consistent classroom management plan: a sequence of consequences for misbehaviors. After defining a management plan, a great practice, especially for the beginning of the year, is to have teachers list out all the negative behaviors they anticipate they may see in the classroom. Then, these misbehaviors get sorted by what sort of expectation is not met (for example, talking during silent work, talking when the teacher is talking, and talking when a peer is sharing an idea to the class can all be grouped under talking out of turn). Then, the teacher can know when to give their consequence based on their classroom management plan. In that way, teachers can anticipate these misbehaviors and envision exactly what to do in the situation. This helps build consistency. Students misbehave for various reasons, and I believe one of those top reasons is not being clear with what the consistent consequence will be.

I think that if teachers were trained in Restorative Justice practices or if we had a protocol for how our students can repair the harm created.

I think this is harder to confront in the moment. Bullying has to be addressed not in the moment, but before it has begun. I think students would benefit from hearing testimonials from students about how it makes students feel. Ideally, teachers could hold circles in their classrooms regularly to help build community and have a space that, when bullying does occur, a circle can be a solution without it being the first time it is formed.

I wish there were a more official, school-wide type behavior tracker. If a student has been wrecking classes, they need to be held accountable with a parent and teacher signatures every day. They should be turned in to somebody like Mr. Younger. Students generally stop bringing them and it's hard to find the right consequence for that, especially if you haven't the time and energy for another phone call home.

I would like more hallway sweeps to round up students that seem to be wandering on the daily.
