Instructor Responsibilities

CALENDAR:

21st Century Program begins on September and runs through the end of May.

LESSON PLANS:
Instructors are expected to provide  lesson plans on a weekly basis. If you need assistance in completing your plans please seek the advice of the 21st Century Coordinators. Be sure to include Arizona state standards and ELP standards- if servicing ELD students.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE:
Accurate attendance records are a very important part of 21st CCLC grant. Our effectiveness as learning program is measured partly by how many students attend regularly. Consequently each instructor will be provided with a roster of students to record attendance. Attendance should be turned in DAILY and will be monitored by the 21st Century Coordinators.

DATA:
As part of the evaluation process, the 21st CCLC grant is interested in finding out to what degree our students are being affected by the academic and opportunities offered at the site. Each instructor will be responsible for administering and tracking data gathered from relevant assessments (district benchmarks and other)  that are part of the curriculum to evaluate what the students have gained through their course.

DISCIPLINE:
A variety of classroom management techniques are vital skills needed to effective extend learning through the 21st Century program.  Instructors are expected to help students develop positive classroom behaviors conducive to the learning process through class rules and procedures that are implemented on a consistent basis.

BEHAVIOR SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION:
Participation in 21st CCLC is a privilege. Consequently if a student is disrupting the class to the extent that it affects the learning of other students, disciplinary actions will be taken by the school principal and 21st Century Coordinator. If multiple disruptions occur the student may have to meet with administrators and possibly with parents, to discuss their continued participation. Do your best to be proactive and communicate discipline issues to the 21st Century Coordinator so that they may subsequently relay that information to the parents. Always call on the 21st Century Coordinator to assist you in dealing with severe discipline issues.
