The first days of school
Effective classroom teachers begin implementing their classroom management program on the very first day of class.
Before school begins teachers should organize and prepare the physical space, lay the foundation for strong teacher/student relationships, and prepare rules, procedures, and academic expectations.
On the first day of school familiarize students with classroom and seating arrangements, use ice-breaker activities and other get-to-know-you activities, and establish rules, expectations, and academics as a framework for the classroom.
During the first two weeks of school, build relationships with students and set and reinforce academic and nonacademic expectations and routines.
