Stacey Everson (Middle School Principal)

Exploratory Courses are things like Art, Music, and P.E.

RTI= Response To Intervention

Many times Art and other exploratory classes are the reason that many students come to school.

Many students get pulled out of your class to get extra help in Reading and/or Math

Art needs to incorporate Reading and Math


Make students love to learn! Help students to work with their learning style and engage them in school. Collaboration is important in school, getting to know your students and how they are doing in their classes is important and to do that you must work with other core teachers.

When applying for a job go to their website and look at their curriculum and teaching and student population and ext.

If you don't feed the teacher they will eat the students

If you have questions or want materials in your class such as books go to your principal!


JOB INTERVIEW:
Love your Job and Content area
Love for art and have creative Ideas
Use the word LOVE
Knowledgable
Look good on Paper! Resume must be Flawless and stand out in a professional way! GPA Important!
Know what RTI is and the history of it. What is being talked about!
Have Passion (if you have more candidates competing for a job tell them that No One will be more passionate than I!)
Talk about something interesting in what you read lately.
HAVE QUESTIONS! At the end of an interview ask questions but NEVER about MONEY!
Have a philosophy in mind with examples
Talk about experiences!
Have a technology portfolio and a physical portfolio
Letters of recommendation must be well written! Make sure they know you! Don't send copies of it.
Show that you go above and beyond (coaching, NAEA, helped special needs)


WORST INTERVIEW:
-  Don't say I don't know, change it to what you do know.
-  READ BOOKS! NEVER say I don't like to read.

HOW DO YOU ASSESS TEACHERS:
-  Scarlet Daneiels Domains
-  Wisconsin Teachers Standards
-  Principals should give feed back
-  Real life vitality= teach students how this can help them in their future or help them outside of the classroom
-  Have verbal and Visuals on the wall.
-  Class should be broken down, keep instructions to 10min or less and get them engaged in the lesson. Lectures only lose the students. Students must get involved
-  Have classroom management, take control, but also allow students to interact with hands on learning, then review.
-  Intrigue students with fun dress up games or fun pizzaz. End class with the same intrigue.
- 80-20 rule. Students should be talking 80% of the time, teachers only 20%.
-  When students line up at the door it means they are not using time wisely and they are not as engaged in the lesson.
-  Art clubs! Summer School!

Community involvement is a HUGE importance!!! Engage the families and then they can better support you! Have parent days. Art Shows. Weebly sites! Reach out to parents.

WE ARE ALL EFFECTED BY STUDENT TESTING! We need to incorporate reading and math into our lessons to help the school.

SLO= Student Learning Objectives

Student teaching is your time to make mistakes and be bold and try new things! New teachers have problems with classroom management! Observe other classrooms as well to learn more classroom management techniques! Non-vilolent crisis training seminar.

Ask to go to seminars. Get time off to go and get more educated.

Avoid Power struggles!

Get to know your administrators and other staff members! Don't hide in your classroom! Ask questions, and reach out to students and staff! Be Openminded!
