Students simply don't know how to put new staples in the stapler, reload the tape dispensers, and tap a stack of papers on the table to align pages. Take a look at these twenty-two job suggestions, and remember to take time early in the year to demonstrate how each of the various jobs is done. Posting the list of classroom jobs with moveable student names, as shown in the Community of Helpers board below, will clarify which student is responsible for which job. Rotating a variety of jobs among students will ensure that everyone is sharing these responsibilities and will help prevent jealousy over coveted jobs. Classroom jobs have the added benefit of giving students important responsibilities and ownership in the classroom. The best way to ensure that students take an active role in maintaining the classroom is to assign classroom jobs on a rotating basis. Getting your students involved from the start is the way to go. You're not the only one who should be tidying up the classroom.
