8th Grade Norming by Ali Welch https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm Bathrooms, Behavior, Transitions, Recess, Lunch en-us 2021-10-06 16:02:27 UTC 2021-10-08 00:42:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Expectation awelch83 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1797566503 Students are encouraged to go to the bathroom during Arrival, Snack, Lunch/Recess, and after Dismissal (2:08). They can go during transition times only if a co-teacher from that room is going with them. If they ask to go during class, let them know when class ends and ask if they can hold it. If they can't, tell them they have 3 minutes and to sign out. Only one person from each class should ever be in the bathroom during content blocks. ]]> 2021-10-06 19:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1797566503 Expectation awelch83 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1797571380 If students get two reminders about the same expectation (not calling out, doing their work), you should be having a one-on-one check-in with them: "Are you okay? What do you need to be successful right now?" If you can do this at their desk, do it. You should only ask students to go to the hallway if you can be there with them (if there's a co-teacher in the room with you). If you need support, text Vanessa or a teacher on prep to see if they can step in. If they can't, name that you'll follow up with the student after class (during the transition). ]]> 2021-10-06 19:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1797571380 Expectation awelch83 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1798411291 Teachers should remain where they start in line for the full transition (leader @ front, middle stops for 3rd floor reminders then gets tapped out by next middle teacher, last person @ rear). Do not pull any students for a talk out of line, give 1 reminder. 2nd reminder write name down, 3rd reminder/disruptive move their spot in line.

I care a little less about what we decide and more that it aligns (esp. with 7th grade). Our rationale used to be elementary in class. Whatever we decide, I'd like to be clear on our 'why' for the kids. krussell109 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800767071 2021-10-07 19:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800767071 Comment/Question arodriguez527 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800767616 I like the idea of sitting down in the gym before playing! I'm wondering if this is/should be the same for RA or how to best align. ]]> 2021-10-07 19:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800767616 The transition assumes having 4 adults present - can we make clear positions for 2 people? https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800767943 2021-10-07 19:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800767943 For lunch transition back upstairs from outside, could we have kids line up in 2 lines (MM & Revs)? https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800770052 2021-10-07 19:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800770052 We may need to sit down in gym for expectations now, but I wouldn't want to do that all year. (I think it can be frustrating for one class that is down there and ready to go needing to wait for the other class, and, more importantly, if kids are generally meeting the expectations and the expectations aren't changing it gets to be a time in which kids can tune out directions which is what we're trying to avoid.) krussell109 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800771012 2021-10-07 19:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800771012 More clarity for student voice-level expectations in line when in the gym transitioning to lunch? Are they at a 0 or can they be talking? https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800771994 2021-10-07 19:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800771994 Thought... arodriguez527 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800774114 We've been struggling with staying at 0 on the transition up from the cafeteria - if we switch to voices at level 1 on the main staircase, does that alleviate some of the reminders/back table necessity?? ]]> 2021-10-07 19:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800774114 I want to add clear expectations here - if someone can help me avoid negative framing, great, otherwise I'm thinking "no pushing/playfighting" and "stop all games once we blow the whistle" and "get in line and stay there after the whistle blows" https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800774157 2021-10-07 19:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800774157 I'd just suggest the teacher floating tries to stay with the large group as much as possible (1 kid going to the nurse doesn't need an escort, etc.) krussell109 https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800774320 2021-10-07 19:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800774320 What did we notice? (Video debrief) https://padlet.com/awelch83/msagawohgkd0gcjm/wish/1800794849 -Some students know the expectations and follow it
    -Other kids are choosing not to follow the expectation
    -Takes a long time to do something that should be simple and routine
    -How do we create urgency within this time?
    -Kids are still moving after the whistle is blown
    -Ball collection = gray area
    -Line taking long to form because kids are unsure where the line is
