Classroom management is a broad phrase that we have used to pull together teacher ideas on such diverse topics as educational objectives, student involvement, celebrations, retention and rewards, students' self-management skills development, class structure, and scheduling. These portfolios include polished resumes, letters of recommendation, and copies of any certificates or awards the students have earned.
Students also practice job interview skills and read about different workplace environments.
Samples of these items as well as sample Student Progress Notes, Student Contact Sheets, and student orientation materials follow. These may also be good resources for students to share with their children. This sample of a student orientation packet includes a student manual, the calendar for the school system, and the class schedule, as well as the teacher's comments on how she uses the packet. This teacher's ideas for mixers to facilitate building rapport between DHS and ABE representatives are listed. These also illustrate the importance placed on documentation in most work places.
