Stamping students' way to success- Traditional Kick Off
Wondering how to reduce your out-of-the-classroom grading hours? How to motivate students who struggle to get started on their work? Learn about a classwork grading system where kids keep an organized binder with numbered pages that you stamp during class (for completion or accuracy, you choose!), with 10-minute binder checks happening in class every other week or so. This system keeps kids organized and motivated (they want their stamps!), reduces grading for you as a teacher, and ensures that you check in with each student multiple times per class. This is a practice that has helped this career feel sustainable to me!

Session 1 and 2 of a three part training series designed to provide for educators the one day IIRP Restorative Practices Training in a three part series. Participants will learn the key components of restorative practices. No sub is needed because the session is scheduled during planning times at Southern. Authentic implementation of your school’s cultural framework is the tool by which the culture (i.e. personality) of your classroom can be redefined such that the climate (i.e. attitude) supports a learning space conducive for increasing a student’s sense of belonging. During this professional learning, participants will be able to reflect upon their classroom and apply new techniques which will positively impact student academic performance. Each session is a continuation of the previous session. Participants earn 1.5 hours because in addition to the 45 minutes of content, there will be pre and post work. As this work is part of the STOP Violence Grant, a pre and post assessment is completed to determine the impact the training will have on achieving goals of the grant.

Sessions are designed to provide for educators the one day IIRP Restorative Practices Training in a three part series. Participants will learn the key components of restorative practices. No sub is needed because the session is scheduled during planning times at Southern. Authentic implementation of your school’s cultural framework is the tool by which the culture (i.e. personality) of your classroom can be redefined such that the climate (i.e. attitude) supports a learning space conducive for increasing a student’s sense of belonging. During this professional learning, participants will be able to reflect upon their classroom and apply new techniques which will positively impact student academic performance. Each session is a continuation of the previous session. Participants earn 1.5 hours because in addition to the 45 minutes of content, there will be pre and post work. As this work is part of the STOP Violence Grant, a pre and post assessment is completed to determine the impact the training will have on achieving goals of the grant.
