A couple weeks ago, I recieved a comment on a social media post I had made that said 'all good teachers yell.' The heated debate that followed was interesting to say the least. This week we are diving into my thoughts on whether or not good teachers yell. What are your thoughts? Do good teachers yell?

We'll be diving into my personal story as a first year teacher who used to yell, how it worked out for me, and what I do now instead. I'll be diving into my top 3 classroom management strategies I use instead of yelling.

We'll be talking about things like classroom procedures and expectations, using your voice level to your advantage, and giving consistent consequences for disruptive behavior. When you have the right systems in place, you can have your classroom run automatically without you.

Let's be honest, classroom management can be something a lot of teachers struggle with. Especially as a new or a first year teacher. Which is why today we are going to be talking about the top mistake new or first-year teachers make when it comes to classroom management.

Over the past few years, I have coached hundreds of new and first-year teachers around the world. And they all seem to miss the same classroom management strategy. Those clip charts, blurt beans, classroom parties, and classroom stores aren't working. And this is why.

Today, we'll be diving into the top classroom management mistake teachers make, why this is the most commonly made mistake new teachers make, and what you can do to prevent it.

There is so much to do before school starts as a teacher and it's easy to wonder if you are forgetting something or if you are focusing on the right things. Today I will be sharing a 10 question quiz you can take to figure out if your first day of school will be chaotic and stressful or calm and smooth.

Whether you are a first year teacher or an experienced teacher, it's easy to be overwhelmed by all things back-to-school. Which is why we will be covering topics like classroom layout and setup, planning the first week of school, classroom organization, digital organization, and even preparing for Meet the Teacher Night.

Preparing for back-to-school season doesn't have to be stressful. Use this quiz as a self-checking checklist to see which areas you have prepared and which items you still need to get done before that first week of school.
