Makes sure the curriculum is up to snuff with state standards.  There's an enormously important movement happening, especially with the No Child Left Behind Act, to make sure schools are doing what they're supposed to be doing.  QC ensures that schools are held accountable for doing right, or not.

I constantly work on classroom management and teaching skills.  TPRS has been a lifesaver.  It's only been 10 or so years since I've been using it, but the more I work with it, read the listserv, go to workshops, the more I try to develop my skills, the better life is going.  (30+ years of teaching, all middle school).  I continue to read and go to workshops and present at conferences (the research needed to present can only improve my skills).  I love this job.

There are some vital areas you have overlooked. You need to 'catch them being good' and openly reward positive behaviour. The pupils should be involved in the creation of the class rules and sanctions and be very clear in advance of what will happen should these rules be broken. And should the rules be broken you should tell them it's their behaviour they don't like not them. It is vital that you have unconditional positive regard for pupils. You also need to have a very robust and consistent approach to positive behaviour management, agreed strategies on how you will deal with and respond to individuals with individual needs. This needs to be in writing to ensure other visiting specialists or cover teachers are aware of these agreed strategies and use them. And finally, ask yourself - are your lessons worth behaving for? \nGood reading? Anything by Bill Rogers

You need to create a sense of unity among your staff/family feeling, combined by highly consistent discipline for student behaviors, cross-grade curriculum mapping by the staff as a team, close networking across grade levels/subjects and service levels/specialties, and staff and student ownership of schoolwide success in learning and behavior. Have fun!

The principal is responsible for seeing that his or her students arrive and depart in a safe manner. If they can not be out there they are to arrange for other teachers or perhaps the assistant principal to watch the parking lot. Saftey of their students should be your principals number one priority. If you are uncomfortable I would talk to either an AP or the principal.

Hello,\n     Well I am only a 16 year old student, but I believe that teachers should have the following qualities...\n\n1) (S)he should know her subject well. (Obvious, isnt it?)\n\n2) (S)he should not be a bully.\n\n3) (S)he should have the ability to keep the subject flowing, without the students getting bored. (Dont ask me how... I just study here ;-) )\n\n4) (S)he should make sure every1 participates. Every1 hates a dictator.\n\n5) (S)he should have a clear, realistic idea of the progress she wants to make in a class. This prevents teachers from rushing through chapters in the end.\n\n6) Also, (S)he should make sure that every1 knows the basics. Often in the higher classes, teachers complain that they always get a bunch of dunces, but in reality, its just because of a weak foundation that a building grows shaky, and ultimately crumbles.\n\nAbout the exchange teacher bit, I have no idea, cuz our skool does not have an exchange program. (Any ideas how I can change it??) Oh, and keep a pleasant face...

If your main concern is trying to control children in a classroom setting - what about in a tutoring environment? Or perhaps you can go into developing curriculum?\n\nNot really an answer - just throwing out new ideas.

Are you talking about classroom management, district policies, or government regulation?

Your school has to locate an accrediting body, and they will review your curriculum and reputation.  It takes a long time.

There is no magic answer.\nWhat is it that experienced teachers do to keep good order? It might be to do with thorough preparation and oganisation, praise, reward, engagement with pupils, talking with pupils rather than to pupils, listening, humour, quick response to signs of disorder, consistency, sparse use of punishment and clear boundaries, etc. The list is long!\nExperience is a major aspect as is working in the same place for some years.\nAnybody will get fed up and restless with a diet of uninteresting, meaningless, academic stuff - especially if they can't understand it.\nEverybody responds well to stuff they enjoy, do well at ,is interesting and is relevant.

You make the easiest school projects too hard.\n\nAsk any member of your local school board what the regulations are and how they enforce them.\n\nI know, I know. This might require you to talk to someone face to face and do more than copy/paste.\n\nSchool district policies/regulations and how they implement or enforce them will differ from board to board. They'll be similar in many ways but each has its standards.

Some times its better to keep it all good without crap, but simetimes a teacher is just asking for the crap. Its okay to have a little crap, but keep the crap level low and quality level high :)
