Re: [LM_NET] HS: Teacher Cooperation- for student return of books

[ann reed <reedref@YAHOO.COM>]

I had great success with a couple of teachers who agreed to REQUIRE students to 
turn in their sources (books & database articles) with their assignments who would 
then return the books once the assignment was graded.  Teacher motivation is the 
key to this method.  I pointed out that plagarism would be much easier to check... 
they would not have to waste time finding the sources, if they were questioning 
sources or plagarism or even scholarliness of sources.  It worked really well with 
teachers who were willing to cooperate.  Not all teachers wanted to go to the 
trouble... but I found that usually teachers who were assigning the lengthy 
research papers found this was a great help to them in the long run.  I also 
offered to come get the books when they were done checking the papers.  (I usually 
sent a reliable student aide.)

  I have been asked to come up with a guideline for teachers that will
help us get more books back at the end of the year.  Does anyone have
suggestions or a finished checklist that I could use?



My ideas currently are:
Adding book return as a grade

Offering extra credit for books turned up to a certain date



How can teachers and other staff members help us get more books back and
what should their end of the year procedures be????



Thank you in advance,
