Clerk

Classroom Clerk:

• One per classroom, usually elected by the entire class after nominations have completed
• Has four main duties:
  • Take roll daily. The teacher will provide a list and attendance is taken at the beginning of every classroom session. Those that are absent must be repeated at the conclusion of roll call.
  • Keep track of student’s speaking time during classroom debates. This is done by operating the classroom lighting system and a stopwatch.
  • Assist the teacher with the distribution of materials at the start of class and throughout the class period.
  • Take roll during classroom votes. As you read each representative's name, he/she will announce their vote and the Classroom Secretary will take the official record of the vote.
