The ABC’s of Campus Life By: Griselda Arriaga Lucy Cardenas Mary Garcia Ana Gallegos
A • Always be on time. Being late is unprofessional. Waiting has its limits, and punctuality its rewards.
B • Be prepared The more prepared you are, the better your chances for success.
C • Campus and classrooms procedures Classrooms are systems. If you want to have good discipline, then you must think of your classroom as a system, and you must manage it as a system. Have a checklist to help you with that.
D • Discipline: don’t be afraid to be strict and have discipline: this is the most crucial part of the first 6 weeks of school. Refer to your checklist.
E • Explaining your procedures. Make sure your students and parents understand your expectations. Clear expectations!
F • –Figure it out! Once you know the system in your classroom, Figure out how it works within the larger system of your campus. • Filing System- Have a system in your classroom, where you organize important campus paperwork and student information.
g • Grading papers To eliminate frustration, don’t give out work that you don’t plan on grading. Do not let papers accumulate, it only stresses you out more.
H • Happy Be happy! You are a teacher!! You have the best job ever, you inspire daily through your work!
i • Inspiring Inspire your students to be their best and lead by example
J • Janitors The first people you befriend in a new school are the secretaries and the janitors.
K • Keep Keep a sense of humor. Who would YOU rather have?

r • rules Classroom, Campus, District Follow Through!
S • Substitute Always leave lesson plans ready for a substitute teacher.
T • Technology Incorporate technology into your lesson. The students will enjoy it! www.glogster.com www.pbworks.com www.teachertube.com
U • Understanding • Our students come from all backgrounds and learning abilities.
V • Veteran Teacher/s Always seek the help of veteran teachers. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and have them help you when you are in doubt about school procedures, etc.
W • Write and Reflect • Always write and reflect on your lesson. You will learn that not every lesson will run smoothly and sometimes adjustments will have to be made; this is normal. Keep a daily journal where you can write down what worked for you and what you need to improve.
X • eXcedrin • Yes, I’m not going to sugar coat it for you… teaching is a demanding job and not everyone can do it! There will be many times when you will come home with headaches, but at the end it’s well worth it.
Y • Yelling! • Yelling gets you nowhere! It’s one thing to be stern and use a stern voice, but yelling doesn’t work; in fact, it creates more chaos and then you teach your students that it’s okay to yell as well.
Z • Zestful Even on your worst days, you have to be spunky and zestful and extremely enthusiastic! You set the tone for your classroom. A zestful teacher is more fun than a bland teacher.
