Vision: Academic Excellence and Success
From Mr. Rs Desk
A professional reminder: Students may not leave your classrooms the first and/or last 15 minutes of class time. Please help us and yourself by protecting your instructional minutes. Our purpose here is to maximize learning. Please take a few minutes to reflect on the following questions regarding your current practices.
- Where are you...as students walk into your classroom?
- Are you greeting students?
- Where are you...when the tardy bell rings?
- What do you do...when the tardy bell rings?
- Where are your students...when the tardy bell rings?
- Are there any students walking in late to your class? What is your expectation?
- Are your students excited...when they walk into your classroom?
- Do students know what to do...when they walk in?
- What happens within the first minute of class time?
- Do you state your purpose within the first minute?
- Do you have a bell ringer?
- Are your materials/resources/supplies ready for instruction?
- How fast are your students engaged? As soon as they walk in? 1 minute mark? 2 minute mark? 3 minute mark?
- What is your level of enthusiasm?
- How intentional are you with your first 5 minutes?
Remember... Your level of excitement, purpose, and commitment will be reciprocated by your students. Trust that the first 5 minutes will determine the success of your lesson.
