Level of teacher scaffolding: Ask all school staff about the level of disruption that is acceptable to complete the audit remembering that the next audit will require students to enter most accessible rooms in the school. Don’t tell staff students are auditing lights as this could prompt staff to turn off lights when they would have been left on. Assist students with audit.
