Question:
What do you do with students who finish early?
Answer:
Occasionally I get a student who finishes a unit with a hour
or so to spare. I first ask if the student has something for
another class which they need to work on. If not, I use that
student to help me-- either with grading or designing things
for the next unit. For example, I'll have them grade any students
with the flashcard assignment finished, or have them make a
small worksheet for the computer program I'll need on the next
unit.
Question:
Do students ever lose their unit sheets and what do you do
then?
Answer:
On the first day of school, I give every student a manilla
file folder. I explain to them that there is a filing cabinet
in my room with their period labeled on the front. If they
wish to, they may leave there materials in the file cabinet.
The vast majority of my students choose this option. Occasionally
a unit sheet does get misplaced (the dog ate it!). For this
reason I keep all finished assignments and projects in a large
box until the end of the unit. For the student with the lost
unit sheet, they'll have to come in after school, dig through
the box and we'll reassemble their sheet.
Question:
Do you accept late work?
Answer:
Sometimes. If a student is absent, I allow the same number
of days for them to make-up the work. However, I do not grade
those old assignments in class. The student must stop by after
school to have them passed-off orally.
Question:
How do you handle students without materials?
Answer:
I keep all types of materials in my room - pencils, paper,
lots of books.
Question:
Do you lecture to your students?
Answer:
Yes, every day....but it's an option. Fortunatley, most students
choose that option.
Question:
How can I attend one of your workshops?
Answer:
The majority of my workshops are done at individual school
districts for that district. I occasionally present mini-workshops
at National Conferences. The conferences are listed on the
calendar page of this website. Information on having a workshop
done at your location is at the workshop page of this website.
Question:
How can our institution schedule a workshop?
Answer:
You
can get information on costs, and scheduling right here at
my workshop page.
