Microsoft TEAMS attitude to learning expectations:
You will be expected to behave in a respectful manner during the ‘live lesson’ and engage with your learning. You will use the platform sensibly and follow the TEAMs student guide at all times.
Independent learner - Highly motivated and dedicated in their learning
Engaged learner – Dedicated and ‘on task’ with the live lessons
Coasting learner - Effort varies from reasonable to good, but not fully motivated
Concern learner - is often ‘off task’ unless closely supervised
Microsoft TEAMS learning sanctions:
Positive discipline will be followed for any inappropriate behaviour whilst using Microsoft TEAMs. Your parents will be contacted and you will have a comment on Behaviour Watch if you do not use Microsoft TEAMS respectfully. You must therefore:
• Never remove someone from the lesson.
• Post any comments that are not related to your learning or the lesson topic.
• Take over the lesson PPT and move slides during a lesson.

What exactly is Sparx Maths Homework?
Sparx homework is tailored for you, and should offer you just the right level of challenge, based on the topics that your teacher has set.
Homework contains 3 elements: Compulsory, XP Boost and Target.
All questions in the Compulsory section must be answered correctly for the homework to be marked as complete. Each task bar will show as green when fully complete. For the homework to be classed as complete, all task bars for that homework need to be fully green. The percentage of homework complete will show on the menu page.
XP Boost questions are at a similar level to Compulsory, and offer extra practice.
Target questions have been designed to challenge you. Your parent/guardian will receive a link to a video in their parent email each week, to help them offer you support and encouragement with your Target homework.
However if you get too much assistance with your homework, Sparx may think you’re able to tackle more difficult questions and your work could get harder. To prevent this, attempt the question first and then watch the support video before getting help.
