https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg WELCOME to the HOPE Academy Director's Page on padlet.  I hope that this proves to be very informative and usable as we set and attain our goals as a school.  As always, thank you for all that you have done and thank you in advance for all that you will do throughout the school year.  You are making a difference in the lives of our young people; some are evident and some are not so evident, but the impact is still being made.  en-us 2017-09-02 11:44:36 UTC 2023-02-28 23:40:37 UTC hello@padlet.com mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/184350123 Nonverbal Communication is a great tool to use throughout schools and particularly important with respect to teaching. Studies suggest that as much as 75% of a teacher's classroom management direction (intentional or otherwise) is nonverbal.  ]]> 2017-09-02 11:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/184350123 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/184350126 The broad purpose of PBIS is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of schools and other agencies.

        Therefore, I want to start this padlet off by saying thank you for all that you have done and thank you in advance for all that you will do throughout the school year.  You are making a difference in the lives of our young people; some are evident and some are not so evident, but the impact is still being made.  ]]> 2017-09-05 17:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/184845824 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/187706825 This is the system that the district uses to record Faculty and Staff absences.  If you are needing to take a day, inform me first by phone or in person then proceed to AESOP.  ]]> 2017-09-14 18:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/187706825 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/187762528       Faculty and Staff when  students are in your care make sure that they are all supervised.  In terms of in the classroom of course, in the hallways, recess grounds, cafeteria, and etc, at no time should you leave children unattended!  Use the buddy system with another staff member if you have to go to the restroom.  Do not leave children to take names while you step out of the room or away from them, adults should always be the supervisor.   Students can serve as line monitors, classroom management system managers, hallway monitors, but not as supervisors of other children.  Also, when you are walking in the hallways make sure you are not in the very front of the line or in the back of the line, you should be near the middle so that you can be aware of what is going on with all students. If you have to send a student to the Nurse, office including Principal, Assistant Principal and Behavior Interventionist, Guidance, or Media Center; a pass or referral should accompany the student. ]]> 2017-09-14 21:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/187762528 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/187767945   “Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.”

Before students enter the room and while they are entering the room they should know what they are about to do. You should be a step ahead of them with what they are about to do. This is a part of classroom management. Do not wait until students unpack and take a seat to give them their assignments. Set the tone before students enter and / or at the very beginning for each class that it is about teaching and learning in your classroom. ]]> 2017-09-14 21:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/187768046 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/196977676 CONNECT with students before you attempt to CORRECT them...

Students can tell your expectation of them by what you say and by how you say it.  Make it count, leave the students empowered to reach their potential. ]]> 2017-10-13 21:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/196977676 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/196977764 The best positive reinforcement is praise.  Examples of statements that exemplify praise are: 

"I love the way you are standing in line, sitting, showing manners, being respectful......"

"You are doing such a great job!"

"Thank you for following the correct procedure"

"That was a great answer!"

Many times we as adults can be sarcastic in our tone and in this culture of students they interpret that as you do not like them, and they will not perform for you.  ]]> 2017-10-13 21:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/196977764 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/251679296 When you have to confront a student about them not doing their work, start of by saying something that they do well.  You don't want to give students the impression that they never measure up in your eyes.  However, you can win that child over because we want them to embrace what you are teaching.  As you know, how children operate nowadays, if they feel that you don't believe in them then they will do what they can to live up to what you believe about them.  Let's not let that be true.  Refer to the pad on this padlet about Raising the students with PRAISE ! ]]> 2018-04-13 18:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/251679296 mydavis1 https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/1834651177 2021-10-21 20:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mydavis1/x1jw2m3ahwtg/wish/1834651177
