      <title>What Great Teachers Do Differently- Ch. 3-4 by Susan Jill Dickinson</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/sdickinson2/if1voo1yuk6</link>
      <description>Ch. 3 Besides setting expectations for students, effective teachers also set expectations for themselves. This helps establish the tone for the year. Teachers can reflect on past years, and introduce changes for the new year. This is important because we will focus on expectations and consistently reinforce them, instead of focusing on rules and consequences of behavior.
QUESTION 4: In addition to setting clear expectations for students each year, for whom else do great teachers set expectations each new school year? Why is this important? Explain.</description>

         <title>We should set the ground rules from the very first day of school.  Everyone should start with a blank canvas.  I know we all go to the previous years teacher and ask, &quot;So, what should I expect?&quot; We&#39;ve already set the bar low for some, maybe we should reverse that bar, and expect more from those we hear negative comments about.</title>

         <title>Question 3: Go ahead and call the parents and ask for their help without informing students. Take a gradual approach and deal with one at a time. Contact the one first that is mostly likely to be affected by the call the most. In my experience, the ringleader&#39;s parents are usually the ones that you get the least support from.</title>

         <title>Q3: Do not inform students when you are calling parents. Just do it! Do not call all parents when you are unsure what or who was involved. Easier to deal with one or two than ten. Deal with students as individuals. Dealing with one child at a time in my class,the example is set and the others are aware of the consequences.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Besides setting expectations for students, effective teachers also set expectations for themselves. This helps establish the tone for the year. Teachers can reflect on past years, and introduce changes for the new year. This is important because we will focus on expectations and consistently reinforce them, instead of focusing on rules&nbsp;and consequences of behavior.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>4: Set your expectations for your students and yourself in the first days of school, not later. That way, your days do not turn into focusing on the undesirable behaviors all the time. This also helps you to be consistent throughout the rest of the year! This is the area I struggle with the most!<br>3: Say what you mean and mean what you say. People in general respect others in authority when that figure has clear expectations and follows through with what they say. If we ignore our expectations, the students will begin to as well. Maintain self-control and think before we react. Don't threaten to call a parent, do it and do not tell the student that you are calling! Handle each child individually. If there is more than one involved, call the parent of the student who may make more of an impact.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>Whitaker suggest not to threaten a phone call home. You should go ahead an call the parents without informing the student. I agree with this, because it lets the parent hear your side first. Students sometimes cloud there parents heads with things that are going on in the classroom. I agree with Whitaker that speaking to a student individually is much more effective than in-front of their classmates.</title>

As a teacher, it is important
that I begin each year with clear expectations for myself, as well as for my
students.&amp;nbsp; It is also important to be
consistent with expectations, especially when it concerns behavior and
classroom management.

         <title>Great teachers and fair and set high expectations from the beginning.  Expectations should focus on what is required of students  rather than on what students should not do.  Teachers should communicate clearly and respectfully to students.  It is important to be self aware and avoid yelling, using sarcasm, or threats to manage classroom behavior.</title>

         <title>I think it is very important to set goals for yourself and to understand what is required of your students. When you set goals, be consistent, firm but fair.                                  Rene Kemp</title>
