 * __Behavioral Management Plan __**

**__Statement of purpose __** It is my pledge to create a classroom where it is safe and fun for the students to participate and learn in daily activities. I promise to hold the students accountable for: showing up each day and creating an positive environment where all people are able to share the best part of themselves and their gifts. In order to do this, students and myself will be held responsible for all of our actions, both academic and social.  **__Rules __** 1. Think what you think, and be kind 2. Be smart, not a smart aleck 3. Honesty above anything else 4. It is our choice  **__Procedures __**  <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l7 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A “Bathroom Sign” is posted at the door where each student signs in and out as they need to use the bathroom.

A Child's View of Thunderstorms (Piaget Preoperational Thought Story **for your Enjoyment)** A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school. She also feared the electrical storm might harm her child. Full of concern, the mother got into her car and quickly drove along the route to her child's school. As she did, she saw her little girl walking along. At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile. More lightning followed quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile. When the mother drew up beside the child, she lowered the window and called, "What are you doing?" The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty because God keeps taking my picture."

 * OBSERVATION Week #1**

Power Teaching <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"> College - Philosophy class and power teaching (whole brain teaching) [] What tools for engagement do you observe? (1) 10 finger woo, (2) rubbing your hands together What strategy for encoding does he use most? Repetition and Teach-one-learn-one College – Aristotle’s Four Causes [] What do you perceive to be one of the essentials of power teaching from observing this clip? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Teach-one-learn-one <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">High School Math on Slope <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">[] <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Make two more observations about the “essentials of power teaching” <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">(1) Students are able to learn efficiently by teaching other students and keeping active in the learning process. As the first Power Teaching noted, the longer we talk the more students we lose. (2) Keeping score of class participation will inspire students to participate in exercises. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">6th Grade Math Class Operations <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">[] How long does she talk before she expects the Ss to review? Not long at all, a minute or two. What role does positive reinforcement play here? Keeps the students engaged and exited to learn the lesson. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">4/5th Grade Teacher is 11 years old here <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">[] How does she outline “expectations” or “standards” for participation? She specifies what will earn the students extra credit and d-extra credit and what/how she would like to class to discuss together the topic using hand gestures. How does she keep the discussion open ended? Asking open ended questions with lots of options to respond and calls on various students to obtain multiple responses to each question. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Critical Thinking Skills in 4th Grade <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">[] What impact would this style of teaching make in the schools you have seen? [|**dixidwiki**] <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">I think it would dramatically impact the learning process and enable kids to succeed in topics they found difficult to concur. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">College instruction on the Basics of Power Teaching <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">[] <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">What role do these elements play in this lesson? Humor, Gestures, Refocusing <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Humor – makes learning fun and enjoyable. Gestures – get the message across and keep the class focused. You have to watch his gestures to know how and what to do when he instructs the students to teach. Keeps the students awake and energetic. Refocusing – can bring the class back on topic. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">What is the most unique thing you see in this clip? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">All the students are participating in the gestures and learning techniques. I am really surprised at how successful this technique is in all age groups. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"> Classroom Rules [] <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Compare and contrast the ways he presents the rules. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">He presents to rules in a way that is geared towards the age group. In the visual presentation, cartoon images are more appropriate for younger students where as the clear, concise and to the point presentation of the rule is perceived better for older students. He instructs that the rules must be practiced to be efficient. It is necessary to practice the rules with k-6 age groups much more frequently and throughout the day where as middle school classes can get away with practicing on a daily basis. No matter how often you practice the rules, you must make it fun. You can make practice fun by using hand gestures and rules can be practiced by (1) presenting the rule number to students and giving them the opportunity to respond back with the rule, (2) using a funny voice or (3) have a student come up and teach the class the rules. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">What do you see? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">The presenter using hand gestures in everything he does. By using hand gestures throughout the presentation I was able to learn each of the rules and corresponding gesture. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"> Smart Board and Mr. Howard [] <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Where can you find one of the boards to learn how to use them? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Douglas High school has a couple of Smart Boards. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"> Another lesson on Power Teaching [] <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Variety….is part of this method’s appeal. What does this method do for his “enthusiasm” and “creativity”? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">You control enthusiasm by your tone of voice. You can use creativity to make this method fun and keep things interesting. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">You will have seen many more links to examples of Power Teaching. Find one and ask two questions for others to respond to after you view it. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">[] (1) What are two of the most important tips you feel will help manage the classroom? (2) When can you offer time to help the students?
