CAN CONTROL, ATTITUDE AND EFFORT”

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD IN THIS CLASSROOM

RESPECT

RESPECT-THE CONDITION OF BEING ESTEEMED OR HONORED.

THE GOLDEN RULE“DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE

THEM DO UNTO YOU”

THE DIFFERENCE IN PROCEDURES AND RULESPROCEDURE- HOW THINGS ARE DONE IN

ORDER TO ENSURE THINGS RUN SMOOTHLY. (THINGS THAT YOU DO)

RULE- THINGS THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO DO IN ORDER FOR THINGS TO RUN SMOOTHLY.

WHY HAVE PROCEDURES?PROCEDURES WILL ALLOW THIS

CLASSROOM TO WORK EFFECTIVELY AND WITH AS LITTLE INTERUPTION AS POSSIBLE.

PROCEDURES WILL MAKE LIFE BETTER ON YOU AND ME IN THIS CLASSROOM.

WHERE ELSE CAN WE FIND PROCEDURES AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

Procedures are a part of life. They allow complex operations to run smoothly with minimal confusion, low stress, and less wasted time.

WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE, WE NEED PROCEDURES.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THESE PLACES WITHOUT PROCEDURES?AIRPORTS?RESTERAUNTS?HIGHWAYS?ATHLETIC EVENTS?STOP SIGNS?

THIS IS WHY THE CLASSROOM MUST HAVE PROCEDURES.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURE #1ENTERING THE CLASSROOM1. COME IN QUIETLY, IN ORDER, AND SIT

DOWN.2.ONCE YOU ENTER THE DOOR, CLASS

HAS BEGUN.3. INSIDE VOICE: ONCE YOU ARE IN THIS

CLASSROOM, YOU SHOULD USE YOUR INSIDE VOICE. (IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE, NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE)

4. ONCE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM, IMMEDIATELY BEGIN ON BELLWORK.

BELLWORKEACH DAY BELLWORK SHOULD TAKE

BETWEEN 5-15 MINUTES, DEPENDING ON THE ASSIGNMENT.

THE PURPOSE OF BELLWORK IS TO EITHER REVIEW MATERIAL FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY, OR INTODUCE NEW MATERIAL.

THIS IS DEFINITELY OUR QUIET TIME.THIS IS A GRADE THAT WILL COUNT FOR A

MAJOR PORTION OF YOUR GRADE.

BELLWORK(CONTINUED)BELLWORK WILL BE GRADED DAILY BASED

ON A 20 POINT SCALE.EXAMPLE: IF BELLWORK CONSIST OF 4

QUESTIONS AND YOU ONLY ANSWER 1, YOU WILL GET A 5 FOR THAT DAY.

AT THE END OF THE WEEK THESE GRADES WILL BE TALLIED UP FOR A WEEKLY GRADE.

BELLWORK SHOULD BE AN EASY GRADE THAT ONLY REQUIRES A LITTLE EFFORT.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURE #4FINISHING EARLYWHEN YOU FINISH SOMETHING EARLY IT

IS YOUR GOAL TO NOT INTERUPT ANYONE ELSE WHO IS WORKING.

YOU CAN SIT QUIETLY, CHECK OVER YOUR WORK, DRAW, COLOR, OR ORGANIZE YOUR NOTEBOOK.

DO NOT DISTURB OTHERS.

PROCEDURE #5 GETTING MY ATTENTIONTHE WAY TO GET MY ATTENTION IS BY

RAISING YOUR HAND, NOT CALLING MY NAME.

ONCE YOUR HAND IS RAISED I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I SEE YOU AND WILL HELP YOU ASAP.

AND HAVE A SEAT.YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE A DISRUPTION

WHEN YOU COME IN. IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE SENT RIGHT BACK OUT.

PROCEDURE #7 GROUP WORKGROUP WORK IS GREAT FOR YOU AND

FOR ME.GROUP WORK ALLOWS YOU TO INTERACT

WITH EACH OTHER AND DO FUN ACTIVITIES.

WE WILL DO TONS OF GROUP WORK IF YOU CAN GET GOOD AT THIS PROCEDURE.

WHEN WE ARE IN GROUPS, WE SHOULD NOT GET ABOVE A WHISPER.
