Find Boundaries

The best advice I could give a new teacher is to remember that it’s important to realize the first year of teaching involves a lot of trial and error. Learning the best way to organize or create your own method of record keeping and classroom management is probably the first step in becoming a teacher who can focus on creating a successful learning environment. Creating an effective classroom management plan gives the students boundaries. I have discovered that all students truly enjoy boundaries, even though they may complain or rebel against them. Boundaries created by the classroom management plan provide freedom for teachers and students to concentrate on objectives to be met. An effective management plan also increases productive interaction between students. My advice is to focus on fine tuning a great classroom management plan!
