Research conducted by Ashlee Holmes, Ed.D.

Brittany Hill Middle School
Blue Springs School District

2. Focus Area Current reality
Lack of supervision of students
Lack of commitment to supervise students
Numerous discipline referrals
Leadership Standard #3 – Organization/Management

3. Supervision Expectations
Every staff member in the building has the responsibility of monitoring and supervising student behavior whether it is in the classroom or in common areas (hallways, cafeteria, restrooms, etc.).
During passing periods, every teacher is expected to be in the hallways monitoring the movement of students.
Active supervision means out in the hall, interacting with students as they move from one class to another.

Conclusions
Improved supervision can lead to less discipline issues.
Although teachers were not enthusiastic at first, once it became an expectation, it is now almost second-nature.
It is necessary to mention an additional change was that teachers were required to log their discipline referrals in Power School as opposed to ing or dropping them off in the office.
Lessons learned
Keep student safety at the forefront of the supervision expectations
Encourage teachers to be accountable to one another
Have difficult conversations with teachers not following the expectations
Plans for the future
Continue to assign and remind teachers of supervision expectations
Continue to encourage and recognize teachers
