When I was a first year teacher, I struggled with classroom management. My students were constantly out of their seats, they were a chatty class, and I always had to stop instruction to address disruptive behavior. But then in my second year of teaching I discovered a way to automate my classroom.

Now I get to sit back at the kidney table, teach small groups, and sip my coffee without having to worry about what the rest of the class is doing. Today we are going to talk about my top 3 classroom management strategies that make it possible for me automate my classroom mangement by October of every year.

We'll be diving into topics like how to teach classroom procedures and expectations so your students automatically do what's expected of them. Next we'll dive into how to get your students to transition from one task to another without you having to say a word. And finally, we'll talk about how your students can run centers without you using classroom jobs.

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.

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.
