2. Station 1: Meet with Mrs. Brock
Write the name and cell phone number of the other members of your group.

3. Station 2: Entering the Room
You are not to enter the classroom before Mrs. Brock tells you it is ok to enter. If Mrs. Brock is not in the classroom, or around the door, you are not to enter. When you enter the room, you are expected to pick up materials and begin bell work. You are to be silent. This means you are not supposed to speak during bell work. Speaking before the 5 minutes is up, will result in a step if you do not get back on task after being redirected. You are not to wander around the classroom. You are to enter the room, when Mrs. Brock says you may enter, pick up any materials you need, sit in your seat, and begin bell work. You may not leave the classroom once you have entered, therefore you should come with all materials ready.

5. Station 4: Class Signals / Getting Mrs. Brock’s Attention
Mrs. Brock does not like it when people walk up to her and stand closely. Everyone deserves to have their own personal space. Also, it is not respectful to interrupt conversations others are already having with the teacher. So, how do you get Mrs. Brock’s attention? You do NOT get out of your seat until you have gotten to go ahead from Mrs. Brock. You will use one of the three class signals. They are as followed:
Sharpen Pencil

Bathroom

There are 4 steps that each teacher is in control of before you receive a dean referral. Every step after the first step will result in a parent phone call. If you receive a step, I will place the step paper on your desk. You must see me after class to discuss what your consequence will be (based upon the next step on your plan). The steps are as follows:

When you do have the appropriate time to ask permission to use the restroom, you are to follow the appropriate hand signal. When Mrs. Brock gives you permission, you must bring her two things:
Your filled out agenda - appropriate date, time, task
Your index card - Also filled out with the appropriate date, time, and task
You are only allowed 3 restroom breaks during my class per nine weeks. Your index card is how I keep up with this. Notecards will be located in the back of the classroom. If you lose your index card, you may not go to the restroom.

Independent work is work that you will do by yourself. During independent work, Mrs. Brock expects you to work silently and on your own. We will do partner work and group work, but independent work is how I will assess what YOU know. You are not allowed to talk to anyone during independent work. If you have any questions during independent work, you will ask Mrs. Brock, not the student beside you. Talking during independent work will result in a step on your behavior plan. Also, you are required to do your work during independent work time. This is not a time for sleeping or playing on your cell phone (or device). Be on task.

9. Station 8: Group Work Expectations
Group work is a time to work productively with the other students in your group. There may be times, like this week, when you will be allowed to choose your groups, but for the most part I will choose your groups based upon the previous test/quiz/benchmark results. The expectations for group work are that you be a productive member of your group (every student should be writing the work on his/her paper) and doing the role assigned to you, be respectful to the other group members using the accountable talk points on your desk in orange (not calling other people stupid, etc.), and that you stay with your group (if we are moving around the classroom you are only moving when told to move).
** YOU MAY NOT TALK TO ANYONE WHO IS NOT IN YOUR GROUP!!!**
All group work can become independent work for students who are not adhering to the expectations.

10. Station 9: Transitions
We will have several transitions during each class:
Bell work to discussion
Discussion to Partner/group work

Independent work to closure/exit ticket
You are to follow instructions quickly and quietly between each transition. There is no need for talking in between. If you are asked to get with your group, you are to do so quickly (less than 1 minute) and without discussion. The most important thing to remember is that you should do this quickly and quietly.

You may receive a step if you do not put your technology away or get back on task. It is possible that you may lose all the use of technology in class.
