Preparation & Launch

•Pulling it All Together for the First Day

Implement your Plan

I understand that effective implementation of my plan for the first day of school will make my students feel welcome and help them learn to behave responsibly from the beginning. The following strategies will help me do that:

• Make a sign which helps student find my room; include my name, subject and room number

• Greet students individually as they enter the room

Implement your Plan

• Have something for them to do as they wait for the bell to ring• Keeps students who do not know others from

feeling awkward

• Keeps students who know many people from delaying the start of class with visiting

• Allows you time to greet each student

• Communicates that students in your class will be actively engaged – not free to do as they please

Implement your Plan

• Modify your daily schedule to allow you time to teach your rules, procedures and expectations. Include:• Beginning of Class Procedures• Attention Getting Signal• Expectations for any Activity you do that day• End of Class Procedures

Three-Step Process for Communicating Expectations

Teach Monitor Feedback

Implement your Plan

Implement your Plan

• Power Point• CHAMPS Posters• Flip charts• T-charts

Implement your Plan

• Orient the students to where you post:• The daily objective• The daily schedule• Their homework assignments, future tests, etc.• Your tutoring hours• Any other important information or

announcements

You will dramatically increase

the probability of having

cooperative and motivated

students if they perceive that you

both like and respect them.

You do not have to be their friend.

• They do not need you to use their slang or follow their trends.

• They just need you to be their teacher• Who communicates clear expectations• Who is fair and consistent• Who cares about their success
