A selection of helpful tips for all teachers.
Classroom management Definition:
"A term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students."
Listed below are several techniques, ideas, resources, and tips for teachers to hone the right skills to conquer their classroom:
1. Start the year tough.
Many teachers make the mistake of starting the school year with a poor discipline plan or without any classroom management plan at all. It is so much easier to start tough and then lighten up, then to start light and discipline more. At the beginning of the year, students quickly assess the situation and realize what they will be allowed to get away with. Starting the year tough will give you control and flexibility.
2. Be fair to all students.
3. Be prepared for disruptions---and don't let them phase you.

Students often amplify their teacher's reaction to disruptions—be ready for them and be ready to calmly and quickly pick up where you left off. Having a joke or interesting comment ready to bring attention back to you will allow you to transition back to the material.

4. Instill high expectations
5. Incentivize good behavior.
Motivating students though rewards like no homework, watching a video, ice cream, or free-activity time can help students by giving them a goal. This can also help students hold each other accountable to class goals and stigmatize negative behavior even more.

6. Overplan.
