Rehearsal Journal #4**Remember, all questions should be answered in 3 complete sentences.**

•What are 3 good reasons not to have stage fright? (Remember the activity where we stared at each other while on stage? What did you learn?)

•How can you connect audience etiquette to the classroom?

•Why are procedures important?

Classroom Procedures

This is how we do it…

Classroom Jobs…Student Director

• A teacher selected position based on proven leadership.• Take daily attendance

• Ensure that students follow proper procedures

• Makes sure Stage Managers are performing their duties

• In charge if the teacher is not present for any reason

• At the end of the class period meets with stage managers and consolidates their reports

Stage Managers• All students will take on this leadership

role. Each table has a Stage Manager which will rotate weekly.• Remind table of procedures

• Keep table on task

• Collect handouts and fill out “What you missed” form for absent students

• Perform random peer assessments of rehearsal journals

• Meet with the Student Director @ the end of class and provide any data.

• Take notes for the table for each class.

Classroom Leadership Flow-ChartDo you have a

question?Is it about random classroom stuff?

Yes

Ask your stage manager.

Did they answer

it?

Yes, huzzah! No

Ask the student director

Did they answer it?

Yes!

Finally!Nope.

No

Is it about something that only the teacher

should know?

Ask Ms. Kissling

We are going to be using a method called CHAMPS…

• This will give you specific expectations of proper behavior in all types of classroom situations.

• It takes the guess work out of the infamous question, “Well, what can I do?”

• With clear guidelines, misbehavior is much more obvious.

• If all goes according to plan, I’ll spend less time disciplining and more time teaching (and finally be able to get to the “fun” stuff).

• What do you have to do? First, pay close attention to the video I’m about to show you… It’ll explain the basics. Then, we’ll talk out some scenarios together.
