Instruction, Delivery & Classroom Management Norms
CLA / TLAC No Opt Out- “I don’t know” is simply not an option. Guiding the student and setting the expectation
that you will not allow an unwillingness to try sets a standard for your classroom and will eliminate such
answers in the future.
Quantum Learning Components: Strong FOUNDATION (…Establish an understanding of expectations in your
classroom…)
Strategy: Distinguish between “illegal” and “legal” responses.
Illegal = “I don’t know.” “I forgot.” Shrugged shoulders.
Legal = “Please repeat/rephrase the question.” “I need more time.” “Come back to me later.” “I need more
information/support.”
Key Point: If you agree to come back to the student later, BE SURE YOU DO.
ESL Strategy:
If a student cannot answer a question, choose one of the four formats for a response:
1. You provide the answer; the student repeats the answer. 2. Another student provides the answer; the initial student repeats the answer. 3. You provide a cue; your student uses it to find the answer. 4. Another student provides a cue; the initial student uses it to find the answer.
9 of 41
CLA / TLAC Right is Right & #3 Stretch It- Set and defend a high standard of “correctness” in your classroom.
Do not confuse effort with mastery and set the standard that although effort is appreciated, mastery is the
expectation.
- Using Stretch It will help you go from effort to mastery. “I like what you’ve done, what can you say to get us the rest of the way to the complete answer?” “What’s the last piece?” “Can you develop that further?” Stretch it can also mean taking a student’s answer and guiding them to the mastery by asking follow-up questions until complete and then asking them for the correct, complete answer.
- Make sure to acknowledge when you have heard the correct answer in the way you would like to hear it. Every answer should be in complete sentences and when you accept an answer, be specific in your praise so the rest of the class can gain from every question and answer. Keep high expectations and they will rise to them.
Quantum Learning Component: LIFE SKILLS (…Develop skills and habits to be more successful in all areas of
life…)
8 Keys of Excellence #2 “Failure Leads to Success”
Strategy: Teach students to see failures as feedback. We can learn from mistakes and make the changes needed
to be more successful in the future.
Quantum Learning Tenets: Acknowledge Every Effort & If It’s Worth Learning, It’s Worth Celebrating
In a nutshell: Thank your students for trying. Praise them only when they bring an answer all the way to
excellent.
ESL Strategy:
If ELLs are having trouble answering in complete sentences, provide sentence frames to make answering easier.
Teach CSIQ (Complete Sentence Including Question) as a way to use words from the question to formulate a
complete sentence answer.
Ex: Q: What is one theme from “The Veldt”?
A: One theme from “The Veldt” is to beware addiction to technology.
Use student whiteboards to provide students with immediate feedback. Using whiteboards allows you to
“stretch” a student response by saying something like “tell me more” or “Be more specific” or “expand on that”.
10 of 41
CLA / TLAC Circulate- Break the ‘plane’, the first five feet surrounding your board are where most teachers tend
to hover. Make sure that you break that plane during the first five minutes of each class, wake them up, and
make them aware that you are aware. Engage while circulating, ask clarifying questions, and correct unwanted
behavior if proximity alone is ineffective.
Quantum Learning Components: PRESENTATION (…Use effective communication strategies that match your
desired outcome…)
Strategy: Use state changes (in this case, it’s simply your movement and proximity) to maximize students’
attention and influence behavior.
11 of 41
CLA / TLAC Cold Call- Call on students regardless of whether or not they have raised their hand. Students should
be prepared to answer every question, every time.
- CLA/VPA- This includes no “shout outs”. It is not acceptable for a student or group of students volunteer the answer unless the teacher has requested a choral answer.
Quantum Learning Component: Empowering ATMOSPHERE (…Promote a sense of safe and supportive learning
through positive interactions…)
Strategy: Use understanding of amygdala to lessen feelings of fear, anxiety, stress and threat.
Key Point: amygdala = the emotional control center of the brain;
prefrontal cortex = the “executive control room” of the brain… where working memory occurs
When amygdala activity is high (cold calls feel embarrassing and stressful), the prefrontal cortex activity is low
(academic information is more likely to be forgotten). When amygdala activity is low (cold calls feel safe),
prefrontal cortex activity is high (academic information is more likely to be retained.)
ESL Strategy: Normalize error by focusing on fixing student answers instead of what was wrong with the
answer. When the student has corrected their mistake, acknowledge their work of correction.
Scaffold questions by asking simple questions and progressing to harder ones. Also try breaking down complex
tasks or desired responses to a few students throughout the class as a way of scaffolding the ELL effectively into
the conversation.
12 of 41
CLA / TLAC 100%- There’s one acceptable percentage of students following a direction: 100 percent. Less, and
your authority is subject to interpretation, situation and motivation. Your goal is to get 100 percent compliance
so you can teach. You want the intervention to be fast and invisible. This is like Right is Right for
behavior/intervention.
- CLA Phrases (CLA…LEAD), chants, or clapping that create a quick and fast intervention. Hand gestures (“silent signals” are expected to be followed 100% of the time in all CLA classes. Hand gestures should be used anytime a student would like to leave their seat, leaving your seat without permission is unacceptable.
- Teachers: This applies to us as well. Make sure that your classroom is also 100%. Paper and pencils should always be out and available so that time is not lost, and your room should be tidy and in order, ready for the day.
Quantum Learning Component: Effective FACILITATION (…Guide the group through a learning experience in a
way that elicits your desired outcome and optimal learning…)
Strategy: Describe it. Look for it. Wait for it. GO.
Quantum Learning Tenets: Everything speaks.
In a nutshell: Demanding 100% sends the message that EVERY student matters. Keeping our classrooms clean,
de-cluttered, and well organized sends the message that we, as educators, hold ourselves to the same standards
of neatness, preparedness, and excellence that we expect of our students.
ESL Strategy: Use LEAD to set an expectation for student behaviors. Use of LEAD can help you notice students
who are giving less than full effort as well as students who don’t understand some portion of the lesson/activity.
13 of 41
CLA / TLAC What to Do- Students should know what to do at all time. Directions should be specific, concrete,
sequential and observable. This creates less room for grey area between defiance and incompetence.
- CLA/VPA-“Work the Clock”- Countdowns (ex. “voices off in 3…2…1”) Students should be prepared for your classroom the minute that you welcome them into your classroom with an entry routine, work on developing one that is unique to your teaching style.
- Teachers: Keep an eye on “what to do” for yourself as well. Try exit tickets and pre/post tests to make sure that you are constantly evaluating the re-teaching process and what steps are to be taken to ensure more fluidity next time.
Quantum Learning Component: Effective FACILITATION (…Guide/Lead the group through an activity or
learning experience in a way that elicits your desired outcome and optimal learning…)
Strategy:
Lower grades: When giving (or should we say “carefully describing”) directions, use a variety of volumes or
tones of voice to strike a subtle state change. For example, unexpected whispers often work.
Upper grades: QL suggests using “Let’s” and “We” rather than “I need you to ___ for me.”
All grades: Consider adding music or timers to some activities or routines to help set a pace and work the clock!
ESL Strategy: Break complex tasks into a series of simple directions and actions. Call on students to repeat the
instructions to check for understanding.
14 of 41
Classroom Environment
Front wall space should be solely designated for teaching support and student affirmations (low). Side and rear walls should display other peripheral items (ie. Birthday lists, homework, daily schedule, student work, character traits, storage, etc.)
Word walls should be placed in the front of the room for student’s optimal visual access. Words should be listed alphabetically and visual aids should be used if possible.
ELL/ELA strategies should be placed in the back of the room for instructors to easily glance at for reference during lessons.
Student work that is “exemplary” or “excellent” should be displayed for a limited time and replaced when themes and curriculum units change.
All rooms should be academically focused
No toys Games used for inside recesses should be in bins No unnecessary items Quantum items/ideas are fine Classroom should not be like your home with many home/personal items (small items/pictures on your desk, etc. are the exception) No appliances
Rooms should be neat and organized
Nothing on the floor Books on shelves Student desks should be required to stay neat and organized Sharpened and unsharpened pencils Extra notebook paper available at all times
Display
Standards Blue hanger for Reading Street Writing Posters / Pocket Charts Test Taking Poster AR Display Math Facts Display Instruction & Delivery Techniques (TLAC / QL / ELA) Classroom Rules (front) Behavior Pocket Charts Class Schedules by the Clock
Hanging displays
Preferably from the ceiling Use the cork boards Removable clips Staples if necessary NO push pins, tape, or nails used without permission Be creative – visit other rooms to get ideas
15 of 41
Quality work displays
Only perfect work is displayed Must be current - Changed at least monthly
Bulletin boards
Changed at least monthly Should reflect correct season or area of instruction Should be tied to education and have purpose Color-Coded
Cleaning of rooms
An adult (not students) needs to sanitize the desks Mid-day End of day
Stack chairs on TUESDAY, THURSDAY & FRIDAY Labs should be cleaned after each use We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality education in a professional environment. Everything in the classroom environment is expected to be designed with learning in mind. The classroom is expected to be meticulously prepared, clean and highly organized. Every book, picture, artifact must be selected with great care and deliberation as it relates to the current curricular focus and with respect for the developing student. Classrooms may not contain items that are cartoony, kitschy or considered clutter. Pillows, beanbags, stuffed animals, toys, and materials promoting commercialism are not allowed. Nothing in the environment may be torn, damaged, broken, or contain missing pieces.
Due to health and environmental concerns, no food items or drinks are allowed in classrooms without administrative permission.
