Have you ever heard the expression, "Actions speak louder than words"? At OLQP, school standards are posted in every classroom. During in-service, teachers had an opportunity to reflect on classroom management strategies and to share best practice. Teachers help students understand what each standard looks like in the classroom in terms of behavior and responsibility. Teachers take time to teach students the expectations and routines. The benefit is a well-run classroom where the teacher's energy is spent on instruction and building a community of learners, and the students' learning and development is optimized. Parental support is a necessary component. By now, you should have reviewed the classroom plan that your child's teacher shared. As the school year continues, students have a constant reminder posted in every classroom to help them be successful, "You will know my faith by what I do."
