1. Faculty Meeting
Second week of school

2. Prayer

3. Instead let’s recognize what is our work and what is the students’ work. The bulk of our work happens before students enter the classroom and after students leave. We plan and prepare learning experiences and after class is over, we assess and provide students feedback on how well they engaged in those learning experiences so that we can all improve the next day. The students’ work happens during the class period where it is their jobs to do the work of learning. It’s not that we should sit idle during class time, but we should never do anything that let’s students off the hook for doing the work of learning of themselves. When we do our jobs properly, we set students up for meaningful and engaging learning experiences. But, when we work harder than our students, we cheat them and ourselves.

11. What do I do in the classroom? (Stephanie)
Things to do:
review your class policies with parents.  Make sure you make copies so that each parents has a class policy sheet to take home with them.    
Then, explain your class rules & CHAMPS as well as your behavior management system including consequences and rewards that you use in your classroom.
Next, review your daily schedule with parents.
Then, explain the curriculum(s) that you use.  
Allow time for questions, they will have a lot of questions!
Also, do not forget to allow time for them to tour your classroom.
Things to remember:
~Be cognizant of time and the fact that some parents will be late arriving to your classroom.  Perhaps have extra Powerpoints printed out for the parents who arrive late, if that is your method of presentation.  
~Have parents fill out an information sheet so that you have their phone number, , and other important information readily available in your classroom.
~Have student work hanging up in your classroom!!
~Make sure your room is nice and neat!
