Discipline Plan / Schedule: Rules, Consequences, Rewards for Mr.

Miller’s EAST Classroom


Welcome to EAST @ Oaklawn with Mr. Miller!
My philosophy and that of EAST work together very well! I believe that the “teaching / learning” process can
only reach its highest level when all those involved work together. In this process, I am referring to the teacher,
student, parent, school, and community. When all these work together for the good of the student, who is in turn
working in the interests of what is best for their school, community, town, state, and world, the optimum level of the
teaching / learning process can be reached. The EAST model of education features student-driven service projects
accomplished with the latest in technology. Our EAST classroom is equipped with state-of-the-art workstations,
servers, software, and accessories, including GPS/GIS mapping tools, architectural and CAD design software, 3D
animation suites, Virtual Reality, and much more. Students will find problems in their local communities, and then use
these tools to solve them. EAST’s focus, however, is not on technology itself, but on the unique learning environment
of the EAST classroom.
In EAST, students are responsible for creating their own lesson plans. There are no lectures and no tests;
instead, the students are guided by me. This radically different approach to learning yields tremendous results.
Students are better-prepared for their future, and they care more about learning and serving their communities.
It is my desire to work with both you and your child to maintain an open line of communication. In working
to make my desire a continuing reality, I will be sending various notes home to you from time-to-time concerning what
we are doing in the classroom. I will also send notes home, when necessary, asking you to help us (your child,
yourself, and me) achieve our goals in the classroom and to complete the project your child has selected to make a
difference in the lives of others. We will have various updates Learning Manage System - Schoology. My EAST
students will access EAST in Schoology just like they do their other classes. They will just need to enter in the Access
Code: BW3W-NWTM-4JN2T

When the need arises, or if you would just like to talk with me, feel free to contact me by the school’s number,
620-7822, extension 4011. If I am not available, you may leave a message and I’ll return your call at my earliest
convenience. I am looking forward to working with you in order to form a GREAT year for all of us and to make a
DIFFERENCE in the WORLD AROUND US!!!!!!! Sincerely,
Paul R. Miller
