Tutoring
PBIS
Let's remind students of proper behavior in common areas. As you know, their behavior has been a bit on the rowdy side lately and a gentle reminder about how to behave in the hallways, cafeteria, and classrooms is in order.
One thing that will help with hallway behavior is for teachers to be visible during passing periods. Teachers with blocked classes, please do what you can to help. If you can help by standing in your doorway enough so that you can monitor students in your classroom and still be seen by those in the hallways, we will see a change in student behavior during passing period.
Your help is appreciated!
Testing Procedures!
1. ACTIVELY monitor - in the testing rooms and in the hallways. Test administrators and hall monitors must not be on their phones, on iPads, on computers, reading anything, etc. The only thing they can do is watch students. It is about as exciting as watching paint dry, but with teaching certifications on the line, we must ensure that test integrity is maintained.
2. NO CELL PHONES in the testing rooms or in the testing areas. Encourage your students to leave their phones at home on testing days. All cell phones must be powered off and handed over to the test administrator during testing. They are not to be returned until just before students are dismissed at the conclusion of the test.
3. MAINTAIN PROPER TESTING ENVIRONMENT which means keeping students seated and quiet during testing, especially if all students have not finished testing.
4. REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL TESTS allow dictionaries, calculators and other such items. Additionally, some students may have specific accommodations.
