Class DOJO

Teachers are preparing for “back to school” the secret to success is in the planning, not the pedagogy. Some teachers dread going back to school, while others are excited. If you are in the group of teachers feeling dread, it means you need to take steps to change things.

Teachers need preparation for new course books as well as classroom management. Have you ever thought there are some application, it could help teacher's classroom management?

Today I am going to talk about one application (class Dojo) teachers can use to better manage their classrooms. This application helps teachers to keep track and be aware of each of their students' progress. This application is available on Android and iOs  free to download.

This application is simple for busy teachers. You can download it free after finished downloading it will ask “teachers account or parents' account?  After opening an account  teacher can add his/her all student names and their picture. She/he can track their attendance.

This application is a helpful tool for teachers to gather and generate data on the behavior of students. Teachers can share information about students with school administration and parents in order to update them quickly about the status of students in the classroom.

Teachers can connect with parents from his/her classroom. The app also provides a secure communication method for teachers to send feedback about a student to their parents, similar to a continuous progress report on how the children are doing. Teachers can share whole class broadcasts with parents.

By using this tool, a teacher has a number of predefined behavior options under the categories of positive and negative behaviors. A teacher can also add new behavior options to the list as well.  Every time a teacher clicks on a positive or negative behavior option of a student, a +1 or -1 is added to the student profile in that class.

I am sure if teachers start using this application they will be appreciated by parents. Parents will not receive a surprise at the end of the terms, and students will know the news of their behavior will reach to their parents before they reach home.
