Classroom Management

    Teachers are expected to handle minor discipline problems.

This systematic approach to less than crisis situations must be documented (log entry on power teacher) and must follow these steps:

Step 1—Class and school policies are given to students.

Step 2—A teacher-student conference is held (INITIATED BY THE TEACHER). 

Step 3— Parent or guardian contact is made (INITIATED BY THE TEACHER). and a conference is held.

Step 4—Student is referred to the counselor or administrator. Teacher will fill out a quick log in PowerSchool when referring a student to the office. When a student is asked

to leave class, it will always be with a hall pass from the teacher, directing him/her to

a specific destination. Teacher will always provide appropriate follow-up. Overriding of the above steps must be for crisis situations only.

CLASSROOM SUPERVISION:

It is extremely important that classrooms be under the supervision of teachers at all times when members of the class are present. Liability problems could develop for the individual teacher when students are left unsupervised. Teachers should be present during the entire class period and accept full responsibility for their students.
