Show Notes

One of the most common issues for PreK teachers is figuring out Classroom Management. Classroom Management encompasses a wide array of practices, from managing the daily schedule, to routines, rules, and behavior. Such a huge topic that we are taking more than week to discuss it all! Children adjust to PreK and go along with our routines when they are clearly spelled out, explicitly taught, and consistently followed. Lots of visuals helps children to know what's coming next. Remembering that children are dealing with alot of stress (and often anxiety!) that they carry with them depending on their homes and life circumstances, providing a safe and consistent classroom is key! Tips for teachers in handling the tough issue of transitions, with real classroom examples and the feedback that teachers need in order to not have your hot buttons pushed, and establishing reasonable and appropriate expectations for your kiddos.
