Some teachers do not agree with this policy. Thoughts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One solution that I have found to work with my students is implementing an opportunity room during their socialization time (Lunch, pep rally's, or other school events that do not disrupt instruction). On my team, we have a teacher who host the opportunity room in their class and the other three teachers take the opportunity room teacher's remaining students with their classes. Students are assigned zero's when not turning in assignments, however, they have an opportunity to make the assignment up when they are given their opportunity room pass. Students go to the opportunity room everyday for a week until they complete their assignment. Each teacher on our team can send a maximum of eight students to the opportunity room. We have students sign in/out of the opportunity room as documentation of our willingness to allow them to make-up missing assignments.
