9th and 10th grade students might feel like they are grown up but they still need quite a bit of structure in their day, even at my tiny little school. 

However, although I've tried each year--really, at the beginning of each semester--I can't ever be the teacher that meets the students at the door. I greet them as they come in, but standing at the door feels very unnatural to me. Instead, I'm usually at the board or out in the classroom, chatting with them as they take their seats.

I do always notice whether or not they have their materials and whether they are in their proper uniforms. If there's an issue, they are sent back to their lockers to solve the problem. ]]> 2020-10-13 12:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/824481128 Student Reflection of Behavior that harms the classroom community jennroth271 https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827765364 https://images.app.goo.gl/QFWbaEDiAQHi5D1p9]]> 2020-10-14 07:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827765364 jennroth271 https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827767061 https://images.app.goo.gl/fc6MtG3Rqaby3tu56]]> 2020-10-14 07:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827767061 jennroth271 https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827767405 https://images.app.goo.gl/nookg8T1geTaRnxL8]]> 2020-10-14 07:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827767405 jennroth271 https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827768424 https://images.app.goo.gl/cMjnVyNGcYVCfYUU7]]> 2020-10-14 07:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827768424 jennroth271 https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827768706 From Teachers Pay Teachers (free download)]]> 2020-10-14 07:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/827768706 legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828134202 2020-10-14 10:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828134202 legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828135324 2020-10-14 10:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828135324 Mark's Ideas for 11th and 12th grade Physics legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828140827 This is new to me, I'm finding it a little hard to find things that aren't a bit cheesy to be honest! 
Im my mind, the age groups I"ll be working with need preparing for university life, and much of that relies on them being self-motivated, and organised. My plan would be to encourage them to do that, and be responsible adults. 
Of course the classroom needs rules, but I'd hope not to have to babysit them (although I'll get back to you on that in February!)]]> 2020-10-14 10:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828140827 End of Lesson Transition: legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828143811 Use PollEV. Can be anonymous, and use different formats. I use this all the time when training adults, I generate a QR code to the session which is displayed on screen when we're looking for inputs. 

If students complete all of this, they are given a token, which can be used to decide on a class reward at the end of the term.
Vote is deposited on the way out.
(Class has voted on the options at the start of term)

A reminder must be given in the preceding lesson that a practical session is planned so students can come prepared. 

This was included in my routines in the assignment last week

To ensure practical sessions themselves go well, good briefings are essential. 
The site below has some great briefing templates and teacher resources including timings]]> 2020-10-14 11:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828186767 legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828191144 2020-10-14 11:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828191144 Classroom Timers to keep track of time remaining legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828191917 https://www.online-stopwatch.com/eggtimer-countdown/full-screen/]]> 2020-10-14 11:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828191917 Self Motivation legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828202181 Classes develop their own set of rules, and rate themselves at the end of each week on how they feel they are doing]]> 2020-10-14 11:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828202181 legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828207338 https://www.dreamstime.com/illustration/smiley-survey.html]]> 2020-10-14 11:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828207338 Clean-up Transition legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828208670 Students are responsible for clearing up their own equipment and station after a practical session (Based on guidelines in the briefing document)
Each session has a "Lab Supervisor" assigned to check this is completed before the class is dismissed. 
a checklist is provided that must be completed and handed to teacher before the next part of the lesson moves on. 
By making students responsible for this, they will learn time management and group accountability ]]> 2020-10-14 11:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828208670 legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828222981 https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-c-093-class-tidy-up-checklist]]> 2020-10-14 11:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828222981 legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828246385 2020-10-14 11:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828246385 Plan for Practical Sessions legloop https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828251201
  • Notice is given in prior lessons that a practical session will be undertaken. 
  •  Students don lab coats and eye protection prior to entering the lab (Spares can be rented from the department office for 50KWA (approx 1USD) which goes to charity at the end of the year
  • Students wait outside until teacher invites them in 
  • Students leave bags outside, bringing in only lab books and stationary
  • Teacher delivers safety briefing and introduces the experiment and equipment
  • Equipment has been prepared by the lab technicians prior to the lab, and is waiting on a trolley. 
    Students collect equipment one at a time, and return to their benches. 
  • Experiment gets underway
  • Any faulty or broken equipment is reported
  • 15 minute and 5 minute time warnings are given before end of practical session
  • Equipment is returned
  • 5 minute debrief prior to end of session on the experiment, and what is required next (calculations, reports etc).

    A token is provided (washable, because YUK) to ensure that only one student is away at a time
    It is encouraged that they wait until active teaching has paused, but this is up to the students. ]]>     2020-10-14 12:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/828280849     Student Requests jennroth271 https://padlet.com/jennroth271/3gh4fth1k7eapwg1/wish/831918915 Students have needs that might interrupt the intended flow of the lesson. To minimize these disruptions, procedures could be in place that they could communicate silently  and then be given permission with body language like the nod of a head.

    In addition to a request to use the bathroom, these could also include sharpening pencils, getting a tissue, needing help, and wanting to answer a question or make a comment.

    *moving from student work back into whole class
    *transitioning between oral presentations

    • When giving any sort of whole-class instruction, the teacher is ALWAYS at the front of the class, in view of and able to see every student!
    • For transitions from activity to activity, students should always first get clear instructions about the activity, which should be displayed on the board throughout as well. 
    • Students should have the chance to ask questions for clarification.
    • A timer should be started when students are asked to move into groups or to begin the activity. In addition, students should get five minute and one minute warmings when activities are coming to a close. 
    • When activities are over, before any whole class reflection, students are asked to move back to their original seats.
    • If students are not on task during activities, they are given a reminder, perhaps like the stopcard.
    • If students are repeatedly off task, they should be asked to reflect on their behavior in a formal way, perhaps with a form.
    • For students with special needs, one option is to provide them with a list of activities in their morning advisory time that is color coded with any different or new transitions than they are used to.

    • Students bring devices to class every day as they do textbooks, pens, and notebooks.
    • Students know that they do not open the devices until instructed to do so. (Teacher says "Please open your devices.")
    • When instructed to use devices for completing a learning task, students open the devices and stay on task.
    • When instructed to close devices at the close of a learning task, students do so. (Teacher says "Please close your devices.")
    • For students with special needs and/or impulse control issues, their transition may include putting the device away on a shelf when it is no longer needed for work.

    First failure to follow device procedures results in the teacher walking over to the student and gently closing the device.
    Second failure to follow the device procedures results in a second reminder, possibly in the form of a stop card.
    Third failure to follow the device procedure results in a formal reflection of the effect of the behavior on the learning community.
