Refresher Course on Classroom Expectations

Break out the brand new crayons and sharpened pencils and welcome students back to the classroom after winter break. After a long holiday, you may realize you need to review classroom expectations and procedures. Skip the surprises, utilize a few practical tips and tricks for behavior management in the new year. Create and display visuals to remind students of the rules of the cafeteria, hallway, bathroom, etc. It’s important to personally model these procedures and to practice, practice, practice. Praise students for their positive behaviors and encourage those who might struggle at times. Another great idea is using Call and Response techniques. These are easy, fun ways to get the attention of your whole class, and quickly. Some examples include: Teacher says, “Class, class,” and students respond, “Yes, yes,” or teacher says, “All set?” and students respond, “You bet!”, or teacher says, “Hands-on top,” and students respond, “Everybody stop.” https://ift.tt/2EzBL6v support@endlesssupplies.biz (Endless Supplies .Biz) December 19, 2019 at 02:46PM
