- The Shark Net: A discipline database
- The Shark Net is a database, set up by the teacher, where students keep records of all discipline interactions, of leaving the room, and of outstanding work. It includes fields for first name, last name, date, block, problem code, comments by students, time out, and time in. At two-week intervals students filter their records to calculate class participation grades. The class participation grade counts 10 percent of the total class grade. Students with the highest-class participation grades are rewarded with special activities such as ice cream parties, cookouts, field trips, etc. Students are required to filter and print the report for progress reports, report cards, and any time a parent/teacher or student/teacher conference is planned. This activity helps the teacher keep an accurate discipline record and to maintain discipline with minimal effort. It also helps the students understand how to use a database.
