Campus+Culture

toc Our campus was built on the fundamental concept that students and teachers need the right environment to maximize success. This begins with the attitude you have at work at all times. Our goal is that when you step out of your car you are excited about coming to work. If you do not feel that way about Warren Middle School it is your obligation to inform campus administration so we can fix it. There is no stronger motivator to your professional career than personal incentive and if you love your work and feel supported your will be successful.

No Negative Talk
At no time should you ever talk negatively or in a derogatory fashion about students, parents or staff. If you have problems or concerns you should take the concerns to a campus administrator to find a solution. If you hear a person on this campus talking negatively about others either stand up for what is right or tell an administrator so he or she help correct the situation. Negative talk in the teacher's louge is the downfall of education and it will not be tolerated on this campus.

Addressing Students
You will engage students thousands of times a year and how you speak to them, no matter what their dispostiaiton, it is critical to your relationship with postive with them. Be professional, be polite be compassionate. Never use slang or jargon when speaking to kids. Don't be critcal, sarcastic or embarras your kids; and if you do... apologize for it. Kids will make mistakes and sometimes this will anger you but you have to be a role model for accepatable behavior. Some students have spent their whole life in a negative environment and it may take years to change that but that is why we hired you. If teaching were easy then finding the right teachers would not be so hard.

Door Duty
You must be at your door before and after every class on your schedule. We used to consider this an option but if some of our very best can be there with a smile every passing period then we all can!

ImpactChange Facebook
If you have a moment with a student, parent or staff member that you feel made a positive impact on your life then get online and post it to our page. NEVER use a name but do say, "...a student came by after class and told me I made a difference in his life; it meant alot to me" or you could say "... I passed by my mentor's class today and she is the greatest teacher I have every seen". Commit yourself to posting at least once a day and try and vary between kids, parents and coworkers. We have great moment to share and the community needs to know what inspires us!
