Teaching Assistant Responsibilities

Teacher Responsibilities

Teachers manage student behaviour in their classrooms and in common areas of the school. In a positive high-expectations school, the school team see all students as ‘their’ students and all common areas as ‘their’ responsibility.

Teachers develop and implement whole-class and individual positive reward systems that link to the larger school-wide system. They communicate positive high-expectations in interactions with students and parents.

Teachers participate in coaching and feedback from the principal and coaches. They contribute to problem-solving discussions. They apply action items from coaching and feedback to professional practice.

Data are important for positive high-expectations behaviour management. Teacher collect and enter behaviour management data in the Data Management System.

When concerns arise, teachers contact the Behaviour Management Team and/ or school leaders. Teachers may also be a part of the Behaviour Management Team.
