Classroom Management

Classroom management can be tricky and it is something you want to establish right away. Routines and clear expectations is what helps the students thrive for the school year. And helps keep you sane!



I have tried a bunch of different ways of addressing misbehavior. I LOVE the idea of positive reinforcement and reteaching. That is my first form of action, however there are times when there are students who continue with "those behaviors."


 I am not a fan of publicly announcing the same child over and over for their misbehavior by having them flip their card, writing their name on the board and then checkmarks, or clipping the child down, down, down. But the clip chart is good for having chances and being able to get back to that behavior we all want. So I made the Personal Behavior Clip Chart that goes on the student's desk.



I have them clip up or down through the day. Other kids do not know and it is on visual to most. Also, you can give it and take it away. Simple as that. It is a good reminder for the kids who need it and it does not need to be your whole system for the whole class (when most don't need it).
