Classroom 16!

The Classroom of Mr. Stathis

Mare Island Health and Fitness Academy

Classroom Duties

Over many years in the field of Education as a Principal, Teacher, and Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Mr. Stathis evolved a system of classroom management which he sub-titles: "Classroom Management that manages itself!"

This management system is tied equally into what Mr. Stathis terms a "Miniature Economy" system for positively reinforcing students in multiple ways.

Shown in the photo below are Classroom 16's current Classroom Duties. Students hold a Duty for a period of a week and change to another the following week. A few of these Duties themselves change from time-to-time.

Built into the system is a sense of student "belonging" and a sense of responsibility to their own education and the education of their classmates. More to follow with deatils on what each Duty actually is for those not apparent simply by the title of the job.

Parents are encouraged to talk with their child about his/her Classroom Duty each and every week as the year unfolds.
