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 ninth in the series, with a focus on adjusting expectations for the end of the year.

The end of the year is upon us, and it's time to get prepared. If you've been a teacher for at least one year, you know that the end of the year is not for the weak of heart. You'll need to manage state testing, final projects, field days, class trips, grading, and general chaos. Now is the time to prepare and adjust your expectations. Listen here for five helpful ways to adjust your expectations (and help save your sanity) in your middle school classroom.

We will discuss:

  • Due dates
  • Larger projects
  • Reinforcing policies on tardiness/preparedness for class
  • Reinforcing behavior expectations
  • Incentives

Let's connect!
