You've scrolled social media and seen the horror stories on how the first day or first week of school can be chaotic. Or maybe you've taught before and realized that you focused on all the wrong things, but this year you want to do things differently.

Today, we will be diving into common mistakes that new teachers make that lead to a chaotic back-to-school season. PLUS, we'll be talking about which practical steps you can take this summer to avoid all the chaos.

We'll be diving into topics such as planning what to teach during the first week of school, how to balance making your classroom cute and the practical, what to focus on to have effective classroom management from day one, how to transition your students from one activity to another, and which procedures to teach during the first day of school.
