One of the main reasons teachers leave the profession is due to challenges managing a classroom. In my totally subjective opinion, far too few colleges and universities do a good job of teaching education students how to deal with students who act out, how to manage classroom transitions, and how to handle disciplinary issues. The total number of classes I had on classroom management in college? Zero. So every few months, I like to do a blog that highlights some classroom management tips that will help your classroom run more smoothly! Here are my current favorites:
This tip will help you manage student participation and classroom helpers!
Adapt this idea by adding stickers for good behavior during circle time or snack time!

Some great ideas, but I can’t use any of them. The dice idea is to complicated for my 3 year old non English speaking children. And the other 2 ideas are against school policy. Keep posting more so I. An find ones that I can use at my school.

Love seeing the tip I submitted on your blog
Great ideas for my classroom management!
I really like the class pledge!
