Teachers are observed and evaluated in the areas of instructional effectiveness, classroom management and non-instructional duties. Maywood is dedicated to a process of continuous improvement. Teachers attend workshops and conferences during the school year and in the summer to update their skills and knowledge. Maywood's administration works closely with classroom teachers to promote positive classroom environments and to minimize disruptions. Each student is given a folder imprinted with the school's rules and policies.
Teachers review school rules at the beginning of each year.
Parents are involved in disciplinary actions when necessary. School psychologists help develop behavior plans for students having problems at school. A Community Day School provides service for students with serious discipline problems, including those who have been expelled. Maywood has a Conflict Management Program designed to resolve disputes between students before they escalate to a level requiring administrative action. This program has significantly reduced the number of suspensions for fighting.
