Be on time. The student is ready to play on my downbeat 5 minutes after the bell rings.
Be prepared. This means the student has instrument and all required materials.
Practice. The student will keep a detailed practice log daily. This is submitted through CHARMS.
No wasted time. When the director is working with a section, all other students will finger through or count their
music.
5. Meet Daily Goals. Goals will be posted every day. Each student needs to do their part either in class and/or at
home to achieve them.
Encouragement Procedures (Motivation):
1. Students who have the desire to show improvement can take a chair test. If they want to advance and get a
better chair or maintain the one the have, they will need to practice.
2. Students may also audition for a higher band mid-year going in to second semester.
3. Extra credit will be available for students who provide recorded evidence of 20% extra practice time for a total of
two weeks. They will be able to either bump a quiz score up to the next letter grade (10 points) or (5 points) for
a test of their choosing.
4. Full Scholarship for band classroom only fees (not marching) will be available for students who participate in Solo
and Ensemble festival and receive a score of Superior or above.
Correction Procedures for Misbehavior (both early-stage corrections and rule violation consequences):
1. One warning will be given per class period for misbehavior. If the student continues to misbehave. Extra
homework will be assigned.
2. A student who is not participating and has been given several warnings, will be asked to retest for chair
placement within one week. This gives the student time to prepare so they have the opportunity to keep their

chair. In this case, they can not advance, only retain.
3. Students who are not respectful to other classmates and are disruptive in doing so will be asked to see their
school counselor outside of class time.
4. Parents will always be notified if disciplinary action is taken. When appropriate, parent/student/teacher meetings
will be called.
5. Students who continually break classroom rules and are not contributing to the ensemble will be dropped from
the course at the end of the semester. This will occur only after all of the above steps and disciplinary actions
have been taken first.

Beginning and Ending Routines:
1. Routine for how students will enter the room:
Students must unpack instruments and all required materials within 5 minutes of start of class time. They may warm up
while waiting.
2. Routine for how students will be instructionally engaged while attendance is taken and for how opening business is
conducted:
No roll will be formally taken. A seating chart will be used. An assistant can take attendance so no time is lost. Students
will be directed to look at the goals for the class period which will be clearly defined and posted on either the white board
or by use of a projection screen.
3. Routine for dealing with tardy students:
Participation points will be deducted for unexcused tardiness. A student is tardy if they are not prepared to play on the 1 st
downbeat that I conduct.
4. Routine for dealing with students who come to class without necessary materials:
Participation points will be deducted for students who are not prepared with appropriate materials.
5. Routine for dealing with students returning after an absence:
Makeup work in the form of a theory worksheet will be available to pick up in my office. They will have one day for every
day missed to hand in the makeup work.
6. Routine for wrapping up at end of day/class:
Announcements/questions will be held for the end of the class during the last 5 minutes.
7. Routine for dismissal:
Class will be dismissed 2 minutes before the bell rings so that students will have time to pack up their materials and

Procedures for Managing Student Work:
1. Procedures for assigning classwork and homework:
Practicing will be the primary homework assignment. The students will be given specific measures to practice each night.
Classwork in a band room is generally participation in playing with the ensemble.
2. Procedures for collecting completed work:
There will be a bin in my office for collecting makeup theory work sheets. Each student will be required to keep an
electronic practice log every day. Collection of information therefore is as easy as the student logging in and submitting
practice times/recording depending on what is expected that day.
3. Procedures for keeping records and providing feedback to students:
Charms office, Music Teachers Helper, and/or the schools grading program will be used to keep records. I plan on grading
in an extremely timely manner. Keeping on top of the grading on a daily basis is part of what will happen during prep
hours. Students will be able to check their grades daily.
4. Procedures and policies for dealing with late and missing assignments:
20% deducted every day a major assignment is late. Late homework is not accepted unless the student makes
arrangements in advance or is out sick. If sick, in those cases, they will be allowed one day for every day missed in class
to makeup.

Procedures for Managing Independent Work Periods:


1. For 20 minutes a week, there will be a theory worksheet the students must complete during class as a quiz.
During this time, there will be no talking of any kind. The students who are done early will be expected to review
their music.
2. If the director needs to work with a particular section, all of the other students will be required to either practice

their fingerings on the most difficult passage of their music which they have not yet mastered, or silently tap and
count a few phrases of music.
