Total Quality Learning Management Model

The Total Quality Learning Model demonstrates the connections between learner performance and the three major sources of teacher influence: Classroom Management, Instructional Behavior, and Interpersonal Behavior.

The strategies chosen by the classroom teachers provide the gradual influence with learners which effect the levels of cooperation, engagement, and learning found in and out of the classroom.

Collaborative Strategic Plan The Collaborative Strategic Plan

focuses on demonstrating the various pathways which connect the learning community’s strategic plan to that of the increase in the learner’s performance on proficiency tests.

These three pathways include: Availability of curriculum objectives to whole community; Assessing preferred learning styles to increase the engagement and investment of learners; and, Attending to the learning styles of adults to prolong professional development.

Integrated Systems Model for Knowing

The Integrated Systems Model for Knowing explains the relationships between a student point of wonder and point of knowing through various preferred learning styles.

When all conditions of awareness of a learner’s and a teacher’s preferred learning styles align, the learning path is most efficient and creates the connection between point of wonder and point of knowing.

First Day of SchoolNew Frontier High School strongly

believes that a student’s experience of the first day of school influences how

they will approach learning throughout their high school education.

Our rationale is that…“…an organized and systematic first day of school, that meets students’ needs as they emerge, increases

student perception of teacher competence.”

First Day of School cont’d.

At NFHS, we feel there are 5 basic Classroom Rules:

1. Remain seated during class time.2. Respect others when they speak.3. Raise your hand to communicate4. Respect the belongings of others5. Remain in seat until dismissed from the class

Steps for Disciplining Students1. Rules and procedures introduced on the

first day of school. Organize a systematic first day which introduces the 5 basic classroom rules.

2. Class-wide reminder. If a student misbehaves and breaks one of the rules during the 1st day, remind the whole class of the expectations.

3. Next class opening. In the next class opening, remind the class of the rules, your impression of yesterday, and your expectations for today.

4. Proximity/nonverbal cues with offender. Establish proximity with the student causing the problem.

5. Proximity and verbal expectation. Establish proximity with the student making a statement about the problem.

6. After class conference. Conference with the problem student after class to try to find a resolution to the problem.

7. Before class warning. Explain to the problem student there is a detention slip for them if they persist in misbehavior.

8. Immediate dismissal from class. Immediate dismissal or a hall conference with the teacher as a result of student misbehavior.

9. Meeting with school disciplinarian. Immediate meeting with the school disciplinarian when student refuses to do what is asked and is disrespectful.

10.Parent e-mail/phone call. Call parents or guardian to review infraction, what has been done, and what can be done to improve the student’s misbehavior.

Steps for Disciplining Students

11.Parent conference. Conference with parents, student, and counselor discussing student behavior and choices with an agreement reached by the end about a resolution.

12.In-school suspension. Student is isolated and supervised as they do homework or other work and not in the classroom.

13.Saturday School. Saturday program designed to ruin the weekend for students.

14.Out-of-School Suspension. Takes an official action by the school board and removes the student from the district.

15.Expulsion. Takes and official action by the school board and expels the student from the district.

Steps for Disciplining Students

Teacher Planning Period

Time for teachers to plan & grade Time during which students can

make up tests Alternative time for parent-teacher

conferences

Rules of the Lunchroom;Cost of Lunch No throwing food Keep the noise level reasonable Lunch costs $2 a day Reduced lunch is $1 a day Plus a la carte options Free/reduced lunch available if the

student/family qualifies

Assemblies These will happen during the last half hour to

hour of the school day. Students will walk to these assemblies quietly

and calmly with their teacher. For pep assemblies, the proper athletes and

band members will be allowed to leave class early to prepare for these assemblies; they will meet up with their coach(es) or band directors to walk to the assembly.

Teachers will act as chaperones at the assembly.

Students must act in a respectful manner in all assemblies; punishable by warning; more severe action for each offense & the offense’s severity.

Lost and Found

All lost items that are found should be returned to the school’s main office.

Most items will be kept in a box for the students to look through at their leisure.

More valuable items (such as electronics, keys, and wallets/purses) will be kept in a separate box kept accessible only the secretaries and administrative staff.

Parties

Students may bring in treats for their birthdays, but if they serve them in class they most have enough for the entire class, otherwise they may only bring enough them for the teacher(s), or they must hand them out either before or after school.

Parties to celebrate various cultural holidays can be held if previously approved by the vice principal.

Multiculturalism

It will not be tolerated to have students discriminated against on the basis of heritage, religion, race, gender, ethnicity, or culture.

If students would like to receive special consider for any religious, cultural, and ethnic, they simply need to state their case to vice principal.

Teacher Aides Within the classroom the teachers

can have various types of aids: Student aids: volunteer during study

halls to run errands & do other housekeeping type tasks for the teacher

Teaching assistant/special needs resource teacher: this person will help the teacher by co-teaching and/or helping out with individual students in the classroom.

Parents: parents can come in on certain days to help out in the classroom if they prearrange this with the teacher.

Parent Teacher Association This organization is highly involved in

bettering the education that our students receive, as well as improving on and expanding the extracurricular opportunities available to students.

This group works in close conjunction with the district school board.

Riders and Walkers

Riders and walkers are both expected to be at school on time.

If riders miss the bus, it is still their responsibility to get to school on time.

If a bus arrives late at the school, taking attendance will be held until all late buses have arrived.

Parking Teachers have a designated lot at the school.

Any students caught parking in this lot will get a ticket. Final grades for each quarter will not be released until all tickets

have been paid. A separate lot for students is numbered, and students

will be able to buy a spot for a nominal fee at the end of the preceding school year (students who will be (seniors, then juniors, then sophomores) the next fall will have first pick in that order). Parking passes cost $25 each. Students parking in the wrong space or without the

properly displayed permit will first receive a warning and then receive a $25 ticket for each following violation.

There will be special spaces reserved and clearly marked for visitors. Students caught parking in the spots for more than 15

minutes will be treated in the same way as parking violations in the student lot are.

Smoking Policy

We have a zero tolerance policy for smoking on all parts of school property. If students are found to be violating this

policy, a detention & then more severe punishments will be given.

If a teacher is found to be violating this policy, a review of the possibility that they will remain at the school will occur.

If any other person is found to be violating this policy they will be asked to leave the premises.

Report Cards/Progress Reports Students and parents can check on

their (or their child’s) progress regularly using the ProgressBook web-based program.

A student will receive their report card at the end of each quarter as long as they have paid a satisfactory percentage of their school fees (first quarter, 25%; second quarter 50%; third quarter 75%; fourth quarter, 100%).

Zero Tolerance Disciplinary Plan There is a zero tolerance policy for

drugs , weapons, and violence at our school. Students or their possessions (or

lockers) will not be searched unless the staff has reasonable suspicion.

Other behavior violations have varying degrees of severity and of punishment, which can be found in detail in the student handbook.
