2015-2016 Schoolhouse Twelvemonth Resolutions

Earlier, I shared amongst you lot what my students remember I should Keep, Change, Start, as well as Stop.  After reading through their suggestions, I decided to brand my ain resolutions to keep, change, start, as well as halt inwards 3 areas.

Interactive Notebooks

KEEP the notebooks at the middle of everything nosotros create inwards class.

CHANGE how much exercise ends upwards inwards the notebook.  In the past, I've had students create a occupation or ii inwards their notebooks as well as thus moved to dry out erase boards for the balance of the practice.  This way that the exercise problems inwards the notebook tend to hold upwards much easier than the problems on the quizzes.  This was a big asking of my students.  They desire to a greater extent than worked examples to await dorsum at.

START letting students purpose their notebooks on their quizzes.  I've done this inwards the by on occasion.  I've flora that I tend to allow students purpose their notebooks when they come upwards into reassess a skill.  Why shouldn't I merely allow them purpose it inwards the starting fourth dimension place???  Maybe this way students volition accept to a greater extent than ownership of their notebooks if they know they conk to purpose it on the quizzes.

STOP stressing over tabular array of contents as well as page numbering.  Let the kids brand the notebooks their own.

SBG Grading System

KEEP making students redo all quizzes until they brand an H5N1 or a B.

CHANGE the construction of my quizzes.  More quizzes.  Fewer questions.  I desire my quizzes to lead hold a uniform await throughout the year.

START as well as goal the twelvemonth amongst the same policy on homework.  No switching gears one-half way through the year.

STOP letting students retake a quiz correct away.  Make them create something to earn the correct to retake a quiz.

Classroom Management/Discipline

KEEP communicating amongst parents as well as my principal.  I genuinely started doing an okay project amongst this at the goal of this by year.  Now, I merely demand to create it from the start out of the year!  

CHANGE how I bargain amongst whole-class misbehavior.  I'm pretty proficient at dealing amongst a educatee or ii who are doing something they shouldn't.  I struggle, though, when my entire course of report seems to non hold upwards able to close their mouths when I am trying to teach.  I demand to come upwards up amongst a excogitation for this as well as hold upwards adamant close next it from DAY ONE!  

START focusing on merely a twain of things I desire to conk improve at.  I demand to option 2 or 3 rules as well as enforce those every unmarried day.  I lead hold a habit of wanting to brand fifteen changes amongst classroom management.  I goal upwards keeping none of them because it's way likewise overwhelming.  

STOP putting upwards amongst jail cellphone band purpose at inappropriate times.
