What jobs do you have in your classroom that can be done by trained students?
Students who take ownership of a classroom become learners. Discipline issues fade as students in elementary, middle school and high school become responsible for their own classroom and their own learning.

When I taught Elementary Music, I randomly chose a helper of the day. That student assisted with things similar to your classroom, but that was just one student. I will have to think about how I could have involved more students in the daily activities.
Good thoughts!
I had one student who came in early before school and setup the overhead cart for the class. He put the cart in place, plugged in the power and the computer line, turned on the computer and the projecter. He also put up a safety tape between the cart and the wall that kept students from walking across cords and cables. This saved me a great deal of time over the semester and earned him classroom bucks that he could spend.
