Classroom Philosophy

• My style is one of a Demonstrator or Coaching Style (Hot Chalk)

• Demonstrate & Show – HOW and WHAT with both WORK and
BEHAVIOR. This is ongoing its something that is modeled daily from all staff.
• Task Oriented - STAY on task from bell to bell.
• High Expectations
• Keep it safe keep it clean

This Philosophy comes from years of coaching, and works for what I do and who I am.

Creating a Team Approach

• Get everyone involved, make them understand they matter.

• Everyone has a role, make sure everyone understand their role.
• Listen to the people involved.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help
• Give expectations of what you expect
• Establish procedures so everyone is aware how the class will operate
Creating a Team Approach

• Establish the CHAIN of COMMAND

• Teacher leads the class.
• When student have questions who can answer them?
Depends on the question & who can best answer it

• Personal matter, School related
Developing Effective Team Collaboration

• Make everyone feel part of the TEAM
