Our Mission:

Based on recent walk through data we are in Chapter 8.
Chapter 8: Implementing Rules and Procedures
Element 35: Demonstrating Withitness Basically, withitness means that a teacher is alert and aware of what is occurring in the classroom at all times. This helps teachers identify possible disruptive behaviors and proactively address them. The specific strategies for this element are:
- Being proactive
- Occupying the whole room physically and visually
- Noticing potential problems
- Using a series of graduated actions
Withitness is sometimes incorrectly thought of as an innate ability that one either has or does not have; in fact, it is more behavioral than dispositional. That is, one can become "with it" by engaging in specific behaviors such as those listed in table 8.3."
