Classroom Management

When I first started teaching, my classroom management skills were not what I would call stellar. I just didn’t know all the tricks—all those things that seasoned teachers have picked up to get their classes quiet, to fill time before a special, or to handle students who don’t raise their hands. My lack of classroom management skills actually made me question whether teaching was right for me! That was silly, because classroom management is certainly something that can be learned.
