It’s about time… 1784 referrals. What if each student ONLY missed 20 minutes when a referral was written and processed? We lost over 595 instructional HOURS. We lost over 74 instructional DAYS. Over 15 instructional WEEKS were lost. That does not even take into account time spent in the office waiting to be seen, detentions, ISS or out-of-school suspension.
What can we expect? A change in office referrals that reflects a decrease in serious misbehaviors A process that allows a campus to work more effectively together A written curriculum of responsibility to include clear and specific behavioral expectations for all common areas An increase in staff satisfaction An increase in staff retention
What can we expect? Increased capacity of staff as trainers and/or teacher leaders Demonstration classrooms that reflect best practices to engage all students Increased strategies, tools, skills, and processes for handling individual students with severe and/or chronic misbehaviors or complex needs An increase in attendance An improved academic performance
Observations Observations were conducted within our common areas: Hallways Cafeteria Gym Sidewalks/Buses
Previous YearObservations Idea of “supervision” was not the same. Expectations for staff and students were not consistent. Safety issues needed to be addressed. Interactions between staff members and students were NOT always positive. Areas of school were not being monitored (No Pride Position assignment in place; position not covered)
Ongoing Observations Surveys Staff & Students A majority of students (>50%) feel that students don’t treat each other politely, fairly, in a friendly way, in a helpful way, with kindness, or with respect. Approximately 75% said they understand the school rules.
Ongoing Observations For the most part, teachers feel that they are supported by administration, there is good communication, and they are comfortable communicating with administrators. Teachers felt areas that need improvement are: instruction (rules, social skills, communication skills), safety (RR, halls), and consistency across the campus.

The Art of Supervision Supervision is action! Supervision is the alert, proactive ability of a truly professional teacher to circulate within a group of students, interacting in a positive and constructive way, scanning for potential problems, diffusing them before they arise, motivating students to do their best and monitor their own behavior, in short the vision possessed by the super teacher.
The Art of Supervision Goals of supervision: To instruct/educate students about expectations in a caring (but firm) way. To prevent misbehavior and to connect with students. Interact positively with students as they pass. To be warm and friendly with students rather than cold and hostile.
