How are classes built at your school? Do teachers build the classes, or does admin place all of the students?

Current teachers create next year’s classes. We aim to balance based on behavior,
academic level, special ed. Admin then assigns the teacher, so when we create the class, we don’t know what teacher will get each class

like

The previous teachers build the classes. Based on teacher/student personalities, behaviors that need to split, etc.

The counselor places students in home rooms, but we have the ability to move students around our team if necessary

Admin--The students are randomly placed into classes. Then the admin and grade level leads look at the list and separate students who need to be separated.

Previous teachers create lists and admin approves.

We turn in a list of students within the grade and separate them according to many factors. However, admin always has the final say and normally the way we split the classes doesnt stay.

Admin. makes the final list with teacher suggestions

Admin makes classlists based on how classroom teachers want to group. They get feedback from current teachers to flag any problems. The new teachers can request a change if they have a good reason but I don't usually find it necessary.

Administration

I need some ideas for my last hour class. I teach reading only and I have this class first hour for reading and then last hour again for “communication skills”.

I need things to keep them from going crazy, but want it to be purposeful also. Any suggestion?
