New Frontier High School Vision Statement

The vision of New Frontier High School is to shape students into adults that will be productive, engaged and informed citizens in this ever changing

world.

New Frontier High School Mission Statement

At New Frontier High School our mission is to produce active and responsible citizens. We do this by engaging students mentally and physically through a well rounded education system. This system requires students to behave in

the classroom, be focused on their own studies, and have the creative freedom needed for actual development of learning.

District Belief System

Contains Four Distinct Areas that will help students know and understand the materials

1. Total Quality Management Model2. Integrated Model for Knowing3. Collaborative Strategic Plan

Total Quality Learning Management Model

The students performance is determined, not by the teachers information that they present. But by the students perception of the teacher. The teacher needs to gather the learners engagement, cooperation, and the students

caregiver’s confidence in the teacher.

Integrated System Model of Knowing

Integrated System Model of Knowing

The goal is to bring students from the point of wonder to the point of knowing. The point of wonder begins the with a student in a class thinking “why, or

how” something is true. As teachers it is our goal to help the students know what they wonder about through understandings of multiple intelligences,

cognitive styles, and technologies. The optimal learning path has the shortest time from wonder to knowing.

Collaborative Strategic Plan

The model from the planning stages to the learner performance stage has three separate paths. These paths include a curriculum, learning, and

professional track. Curriculum path includes the teacher, curriculum, and teacher knowledge of the subject. The learning path includes learning styles, learning systems, and engagement by the learner. Finally the professional has the adult learner styles, peer coaching, and life long

professional development.

Performance Pyramid

http://performancepyramid.muohio.edu/thepyramid

Performance Pyramid

Created by superintendent Dr. Douglas Brooks, the performance pyramid is aimed to help school districts improve on proficiency tests and the

implementation of new teaching systems. The base areas are interventions that support performance in the higher areas.

Report Cards

• Class Rules

• Critical Contexts

• Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

Classroom Management

1. Be on time in your seat when the bell rings

2. Do not talk while the teacher is talking

3. Raise your hand when you want to be called on

4. Do not touch anything that is not yours

5. Do not leave the room until I have dismissed you

Classroom Rules

• Students are expected to be prepared for class from the very start

• When everyone is in their seat at the bell class can begin promptly and avoid interuption

• This gets the whole class moving sooner and smoother

Be on time and in your seat

• It is important for students to hear what a teacher has to say

• The teacher sets up what is expected for the class each day

• If a student is talking he/she or others nearby may miss the day’s lesson plan or assignments

• It is important for all students to hear the teacher to keep the class moving effectively

Do Not Talk When Teacher Talks

• If a student has a question or response to a teacher he/she needs to wait for the teacher to call on him/her

• This allows for class discussion to remain organized and guided

• Students blurting out comments without being called on leads to rowdiness and disrupts the class and hinders learning

Raise Your Hand to be Called on

• Everyone has personal property and it is just that: Personal

• No one should mess with anything that does not belong to them

• Student’s messing with each other's or the teacher's property is an invasion of property as well as an unnecessary class disruption

Do Not Touch Anything That is Not Yours

• What teachers say in a class is vital from beginning to end• When a teacher is summing up a lesson at the end of the class it

should not be cut off by the ringing of a bell• Student’s need to hear the final words of the teacher for the day to

hear vital information• Teachers may announce homework at the end of the bell or give

an important summary for the day• Leaving at the sound of a bell before a teacher sends students off

leads to unprepared students the following day

Do Not Leave Until the Teacher Dismisses You

• During each class session there are 8 critical contexts that occur• They are the following:

1. Preinstruction2. Opening the session3. General instruction functions4. Transitions5. Student initiated questions6. Closing the session7. Post-instruction8. Student-initiated disruptions

• Guidelines and helpful hints for how a teacher should present himself/herself in each context are on the following slides

Critical Contexts

• Make yourself available to students

• Initiate contact with students

• Use learner names

• Discuss personalized topics with students rather than generic conversations

1. Preinstruction

• Visually scan across the whole class

• Call to order in routine orderly way

• Take roll efficiently

• Academic organizer

• Behavioral organizer

• Check that students have materials

• Check for student understanding

2. Opening the Session

• Review previous day’s work

• Presentation of new material

• Guided practice of new material

• Corrections and feedback over new material

• Independent work to practice new material

• Weekly or extended reviews

3. General Instructional Functions

• Provide non-verbal cue of transition

• Provide verbal cue of transition

• Continue scanning entire class

• Explain expectations for next activity

• Signal the start of the transition

• Monitor the noise level

4. Transitions

• Establish access to student questions

• Actively listen to student questions

• Be considering towards the student

• Probe, inquire, and extend off initial question

5. Student Initiated Questions

• Signal closing of the class

• Review performance of students

• Provide motivation for students

• Preview the next session

• Answer any questions

6. Closing the Session

• Dismissal of the class

• Visual scanning of the class

• Be accessible to students

• Conference to concerns regarding students or material

7. Post-Instruction

• The way to address this context is described in the following slides

in the response to disruptions hierarchy

8. Student Initiated Disruptions

The way to respond to specific disruptions is based on frequency of disruption and severity of disruption. This hierarchy describe how to respond to disruptions based on frequency. If a disruption is severe enough, such as harassing the teacher, some of the early steps may be skipped.

First things first: Go over rules and procedures on the first day of schoolAfter this follow the subsequent actions depending on the number of

times a student has broken a certain rule

• 1st offense - Remind the whole class of the rule

• 2nd offense - Establish proximity to the offender as well as other nonverbal cues such as eye contact. This increases accountability of the student and should help end disruptions

Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

• 3rd offense - Proximity and verbal cues. If the disruption persists, establish proximity this time. Also, make a statement of expectation about the class rules specifically to the student. Do not ask a question, but rather say something like, “I know what you are doing. You need to stop…” This should be quiet and spoken only for the specific student to hear.

• 4th offense - After class conference. If the problem persists, approach the student once more and tell him/her you wish to speak with them after class. During this after class discussion find out what is causing the problem and how to resolve it. Both student and teacher should be seated to set a “safe space.” This discussion should be calm and focused on finding a solution.

Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

• 5th offense - Before class warning. During the pre-instruction context of the next class session,meet with the problem student. Explain that you have completed a detention slip without a signature and they have choices to make about consequences.

• 6th offense - 8. Immediate dismissal from class. Some student misbehaviors require immediate dismissal or a hall conference with the teacher. This is always dependent on the school rules. Sometimes you can put a student in the hall. Sometimes you can’t. You need to know what you can do.

Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

If the disruptions persist beyond this point or the severity of the offense calls for it teacher may need to resort to the following actions:

• Meeting with school disciplinarian. This is when an immediate meeting with the school disciplinarian may be in order. This is a student who has been disrespectful or continually refused to do what you have asked.

• Parent email/phone call. Call parents or caregivers. Review the infraction and the steps you have taken to reduce the misbehavior. Ask for help in improving student behavior. Document this call.

Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

• Parent Conference. Ask the building principal or counselor to invite parents to a conference that includes the student. Talk about the choices that the student has made to get to this point. Bring in your documentation and the student work. Leave with an agreement. In here.

• In-school suspension. Normally, these are rooms set aside to hold students who can’t manage a regular classroom. Students do homework. They are supervised. They are not in your classroom

• Saturday School. Our school has a Saturday program designed to ruin the weekend and deter misbehavior. It has been effective.

Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

• Out-of-School Suspension. This usually takes an official action by the school board. The student is removed from the district.

• Expulsion. This usually takes an official action by the school board. The student is expelled from the district.

Response to Disruptions Hierarchy

• Classroom attendance has been linked to student achievement in research and is therefore a necessity for student learning.
