It sounds good. What kind of staff development will you do? Will it be in-house or will it be someone from the outside doing it? I think you should include how the discipline committee will be chosen. Hope this help!
ReplyDeleteI like the plan. Please don't take these questions as a sign I don't like your plan. I want to follow it closely. I have is if you are only using benchmarks and testing data to measure an increase in student achievement? I would be interested to see if improved classroom management has an effect of less zeros on homework and more thorough responses independent of testing. Also, do you have a plan on working with resistant teachers? Changes in classroom management, in my experience, are something that some teachers will fight to the end about as some people become married to their methods.
ReplyDeleteA resource you might want to look at is a program called "Capturing Kids Hearts". If you are interested, I could ask the teacher at my school who leads the inservice with this program where she found out at it from.
Jared,
DeleteDon't be so worried about your comments. I can take constructive criticism. :) Your questions are ones I really haven't thought about. I'm glad you are making me think. I don't know about those resistant teachers. Never heard of "Capturing Kids Hearts". I'm gonna look into it. Thanks!
The plan is very concise and straight forward. I think it is doable. I am interested in how do you plan to present it to your staff members.
