Fall Semester 2016 Blog Post - Week 1
Describe something you used in your program in
the first weeks of school that you learned in the summer NTI program. How did
it work? Did it get you off to a stronger start than last year?
I posted my main classroom rules in the front
of the classroom where all students could see them. I went over them in detail the first day of
school and continue to review them with the students on a regular basis. One of my main rules is no cell phones in
class unless instructed to use by your teacher.
This was a huge problem for me last year. I have strongly enforced this rule since day
1. I am certainly off to a stronger
start with the cell phone problem this year than I was last year.
Another rule I posted this year was students
will remain seated until dismissed by the teacher. I no longer have a problem with students
lining up at my door at the end of class and waiting for the bell to ring.

It sounds as if you have your class headed in the right direction. I look for to working with you this year.
That is awesome, I am sure that posting and going over rules is a great way to start your year off right.
You chose some very good strategies from our summer NTI to implement. I know if you are consistent you will continue to reap the benefits. Good for you!
