  • Classroom Management- Month 3 (Class Participation)
    Sep 7 2024

    Join me in this year-long series on classroom management. Each month, we will look at tips and tricks for creating a better classroom management plan. This is the third in the series, with a focus on class participation.

    As a teacher of over thirty years, I’ve mentored many new teachers both officially and unofficially. By far, the biggest question and concern I’ve heard is getting a better handle on classroom management. This is a huge topic and has many components such as managing student behavior, what to do when students are late/absent, and handling difficult parents. This month, we will focus on class participation.

    We will discuss:

    • Different ways to get kids to participate
    • How to set up your paraments for class participation
    • Practical ideas to get kids talking (or stop talking)
