Community Time. Service hours will be set and adjusted to make reasonable provision for the JV AmeriCorps member's JVC Northwest community commitments, such as weekly community meetings or spirituality/reflection meetings. Service should not take place outside of the set schedule on the JV Position Description. Any changes to the service schedule must be vetted with the site, JV AmeriCorps member, and JVC Northwest before the change goes into effect.
Community Time. As issues of misconduct arise in the class, Advisors will seek to handle the misconduct by reminding scholars of their need to follow school guidelines by offering scholars constructive reminders. If scholars admit their infraction and immediately seek to correct their behavior, scholar and Advisor will celebrate the resolution of a problem behavior, and the incident will be considered resolved. If the incident involves a single scholar, the Advisor will seek to handle the issue in a one-to-one session with the scholar. If the infraction involves a group of scholars or the entire class, the teacher will handle the issue in class using an appropriate method, such as a class circle. If the Advisor’s attempt to use a constructive reminder does not resolve the issue, Advisors and scholars will refer to the class Respect Agreement for guidance. Advisors will remind scholars of their prior agreement, the reasons behind the Respect Agreement, and how the behavior in question violates that agreement. Scholars are then invited to discuss the issue until a mutually agreed upon resolution is reached.
