Supporting Teachers with Classroom Management: Are We Missing the Basics?

How often do we overlook the fundamentals of classroom management in favor of the latest trends? In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, I dive into the critical role principals play in supporting teachers to get back to the basics—establishing solid routines and clear expectations that create a foundation for effective teaching and learning. But that’s not all. We’ll also explore the often-overlooked components of teacher presence and confidence—key factors that influence classroom control and student engagement.

Join me as I share common challenges teachers face, including:

• Teachers not seeing themselves as classroom leaders
• Confusing connection with friendship
• Inconsistency caused by self-doubt
• Lack of developed authority presence
• Forgetting the importance of student engagement strategies

If you’re a principal looking to empower your teachers and reduce office referrals by strengthening classroom management at the source, this episode is for you!
