Classroom Movement Large group class instruction Please do not sharpen pencils, get tissues, throw trash away, get out of your seat, with out permission. This is very well thought-out because of our lab. Start the practice now. ALWAYS – stay seated and raise your hand for questions or to leave the class. I will come to you. Please do not come to me. Yes, even for bathroom passes! ESPECIALLY in the lab. That can be dangerous.

These chairs are NOT A RIDE AT ELITCH’S !!

Special lab chairs on wheels: Proper use of chairs Special lab chairs on wheels: The height can be changed so you are comfortable at the computers. Adjust your seat height once. Feet must always be on the floor to move. This will help stay still in a chair that spins. Wheels will help you move about the work area. The work area is from corner to corner of the unit. Your chair will stay in the unit, so you will walk to destination. Do not push each other around in the chairs. 14

Asking for help Includes asking a question regarding the bathroom In whole class discussions it is best to raise your hand. Unless given permission, you are not to leave your unit. Wait for help. Includes asking a question regarding the bathroom The ADMIN system has a call instructor button – this way you can see where you are in line to be helped. REMEMBER – I will come to you! If you see you are a ways down on the list – reread the directions. Talk with your partner about them. Ask an expert if we have one. If still unsure, continue on in the program. Signaling you are ready for an assessment Turn on the light at the unit and continue working in the program. Your light should not be on or played with!
