Table Captains are part of a management plan that incorporates teamwork and leadership. Returning from winter break, students seemed to have trouble remembering to rip out their homework, or put it in their folders. The Table Captain system was introduced as a result! The responsibilities of a table captain are to check that each classmate at their table has ripped out their homework and placed it in their folders to go home. The first round of captains were chosen through teacher selection based on a speech explaining why that child should be selected. The second and third rounds of captains were chosen through an anonymous vote. Table captains are changed monthly, and students may only be reelected once every child in the room has held the position. Missing homework is far less frequent as a result and the students selected as captain enjoy being classroom leaders!
