It can be felt by EVERY SINGLE PERSON that enters your building. The minute anyone opens your school doors and walks inside, an immediate impression is felt. Often it is one of happiness, structure, and confidence. Sometimes a building may have a sense of chaos, frustration, and discontent. Regardless of whether it is good or bad- the point is that it is there. Now, you might be wondering why this matters. One might say, "Who cares what I feel when I enter the school. As long as kids are learning and teachers are teaching, and administrators are dealing with discipline, then everything is right." Sadly, they couldn't be MORE wrong. In that instance someone comes into the building, an important connection is being made in their minds- this school is a good school, or, this school is not. It sounds so cliche and corny, but I truly believe that it happens. So, that being said, how does a school foster a positive culture? One where students enjoy coming each day to school, teachers are empowered to be their best, administrators devote their time to leading, and parents are confident and feel supported in the education process. It isn't an easy undertaking, and one that may take months or even years to correct.

Document Analysis Activity: Daily Life in a CCC Camp Objective: Students will develop critical thinking skills, enhance their historical literacy, and gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the CCC program on the lives of individuals during a challenging period in American history. Description: In this activity, students will examine the various aspects of daily life in a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp. The provided primary source documents encompass a wide range of topics, including background information about the program, recruitment, benefits to enrollees, camp life, meals, work responsibilities, educational opportunities, recreation, and more. Students will engage in an examination of primary source documents, carefully observing and recording their observations. They will make inferences and draw conclusions about the day-to-day experiences of CCC enrollees, gaining insights into the challenges, accomplishments, and routines of life in a CCC camp during the Great Depression era. As a culminating activity, students adopt the perspective of a CCC enrollee. They will choose between two creative writing options: either writing a diary entry or a letter detailing their life in the CCC camp. In these personal narratives, students will describe their experience in a CCC camp, including challenges faced and accomplishments achieved. Students will utilize evidence from primary source documents to support their written reflections. Suggested Uses for the Document Analysis Activity: Daily Life in the CCC 1. Document Analysis Stations: Create document analysis stations where students work in small groups or pairs. Each station can have a different set of documents related to specific aspects of CCC daily life. Students can collaboratively analyze the documents, discuss their findings, and record their observations on a provided worksheet or in their notebooks. 2. Jigsaw Activity: Divide the class into smaller groups and assign each group a different set of documents related to different aspects of CCC daily life. Within their groups, students analyze and become experts on their assigned documents. Afterward, regroup the students, forming new groups with representatives from each initial group. In their new groups, students share their findings and insights to create a comprehensive understanding of daily life in the CCC. 3. Think-Pair-Share: Provide each student with a set of documents related to daily life in the CCC. Ask students to individually analyze the documents and jot down their observations. Then, pair students together to discuss their findings, share their inferences, and compare their insights. Finally, facilitate a whole-class discussion where pairs share their observations and inferences with the larger group. 4. Document-Based Question (DBQ) Activity: Distribute the documents related to daily life in the CCC to individual students or small groups. Students analyze the documents, record their observations, and use the evidence from the documents to answer a predetermined evidence-based question about CCC camp life. This activity encourages students to synthesize information from multiple documents to support their responses. What’s included?

Lancers Army School, Surat aims to provide academic activities for students with the best possible mental, physical, & moral growth through extracurricular sports activities like swimming, skating, etc.
Education, by and large, encapsulates the parameters of mental vision, attitude, perception and goal setting in the life process. It helps to unfold the latent powers and potential of an individual hidden within. Growth being a never-ending process requires a constant cherishment of experience.
Back to school is an exciting time, but also an exhausting time! All of the things that teachers do to prepare for the new year can be taxing - physically and mentally. You are making a million different decisions, climbing up and down, reaching for this and that, and lifting more than your usual load. Is it any wonder that teachers collapse a weekend of two into a new school year? Everyone prepares for the new year a little different. I think this is a little like developing your own teaching style. With time and experience, you eventually figure out what system works for you. Keep in mind, there is not one system that is better than another. It is figuring out who you are and how you work best to prepare for the new year. Super Efficients: The S.E. teacher can walk into his or her classroom and within a couple of hours have it completely whipped into shape. Bulletin boards are a tool - the style is often modern or minimalist. Materials are neatly organized with no extraneous "stuff" sitting around. S.E. are often found in leadership positions because they are usually efficient in all areas of their life. Marvin or Martha Stewarts: These teachers see their classroom as their "home". As such, they spend all summer planning the perfect theme, color, and/or arrangement for their "home". If you aren't a "Marvin or Martha", you don't understand what would possess a person to spend so much personal money on your classroom. While "Marvins and Marthas" realize that the way they decorates doesn't make a difference in the academic achievement of their kids, they don't care because it makes them happy! And a happy teacher is a good thing! OMGs: This group enjoys every moment of their summer vacation. They are at the lake, by the pool, enjoying their family, and having a great time. Then they get the letter from their principal about the upcoming new year. That letter is their OMG moment. I have been friends with several OMG teachers through the years. Every faculty needs to have a few OMG teachers because they don't get stressed about too much and are a fun friend. The good thing is this group works very well under tight deadlines. In fact, I would go so far as to say they thrive on deadlines. These are just a few of the styles I have seen through the years. I'm sure you could name a few more. If this is your first year of teaching, you may be wondering what you need to do. I always recommend talking to mentor first. Your mentor will be your best source of advice. Here are a few things that I do: Big Stuff I like to start with arranging the big stuff first. When arranging furniture, you need to consider: Whole Group (desks/tables) Where will you teach when your students are sitting at their desks/tables? Can everyone see the white board or Smartboard from their desks/tables? Circle Time / Carpet - Whole Group Lesson Where do you sit? Do you have an easel or whiteboard? Where will the students sit? Small Group (teacher's table) Can you see the students who aren't at your table? Where will you store the materials you need to use when you teach here? Centers I personally think it is better if centers are scattered throughout the room. It is noisy when all of the students are in one small area. I try to alternate areas for centers - noisy / quiet. If two types of centers are quiet (Example: computers with headphones and library) I would put one of these on the east wall and the other on the west wall. Put the two noisy centers on the north and south walls. Teacher's work space (desk/table/computer/file cabinet) Granted, you may not get to actually work at your desk or table during school hours, but you may work on it before or after school. Mine was usually in a corner near the closet. This is probably a teacher preference thing, though. Bulletin Boards If you are a Marvin or Martha, you can skip this next part. For non-Marvin and Marthas, you do not have to have every single bulletin boards completely decorated before the first day of school. It is nice if you have a welcome to my class bulletin board with your students' names. I DO think it is welcoming if you have all of your bulletin board covered with paper and border. Otherwise, you give the impression to students and parents that you aren't prepared. You can put up a sign like the one below on your bulletin board: Click HERE to download the under construction bulletin board freebie. Seating Chart: Assign or not? Assigned: Sometimes I assign my students seats before they arrive. I usually assign them alphabetically so it is easier to distribute materials at the beginning of the year. Plus, if teach a grade 1st grade or older, parents may request that their child not sit by so-and-so. I don't get this request as often when I assign them using this method. When I do get a request, I explain that students will sit alphabetically in the beginning when we are distributing materials. Later, I will move my class after I get to know them a little better. Usually this is enough to satisfy them. Choose your seat: If you have been given a heads up that you have some anxious students or parents, I would highly suggest letting the students choose their seat. The years I do this, I hand the parent and student a name tag and Sharpie. The student wrote his/her name on the name tag after choosing where he/she wanted to sit. This didn't create any discipline problems like you might think, even though I ended up with all boy or all girl tables. It was harder to distribute materials though. Once you get the big things arranged and bulletin boards set up, it is time to organize. How do you prepare your room? Sources to make my blog post graphics can be found HERE.

School-Wide Positive Behavior (intervention) Supports 16 Social Skills Posters Emphasis has shifted to schools to create environments which include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors and to create positive school environments. Instead of teachers being individually responsible for the students in their care both inside and outside the classroom, the approach for individual behavioral management is becoming a continuum of positive behavior supports for all students within a school where the school provides a behavior support for all students throughout the school, including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms, buses, etc.) Positive behavior support is an application of a behaviorally-based systems approach to enhance the capacity of schools, families, and communities to design effective environments that improve the link between research-validated practices and the environments in which teaching and learning occurs. Attention is focused on creating and sustaining primary (school-wide), secondary (classroom), and tertiary (individual) systems of support that improve lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth by making targeted behaviors less effective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional. The PT(i)S System follows the Response to Intervention (RTI) model and uses a 3 tier approach to teaching behaviors to children. Tier 1/Primary Prevention (Universal), Tier 2/Secondary (At-Risk), Tier 3/Tertiary (High-Risk). Offered in this collection are 16 posters for teaching many of the essential social skill that students need to develop positive experiences at school. The 16 skills are as follows: Getting Teacher’s Attention Accepting Criticism/Consequence Accepting “No” for an Answer Working with Others Asking Permission Disagreeing Appropriately Following Instructions Giving Criticism Listening Using Appropriate Voice Tone Asking for Help Making an Apology Mind Your Own Business Resisting Peer Pressure Staying on Task Waiting Your Turn These materials are colorful and kid friendly. Each is designed to be used all levels of intervention support across elementary grade-levels. They could also be used with students needing special education support. The icons included with the steps will support all learners in identifying the steps needed to perform the targeted behavior.

I have written in the past with regards to public speaking. It’s a core competency of being a great leader. It’s a skill that takes refining, but can be powerful when mastered.
