• What subjects will you teach?
• What supplies do you have? • Smartboard? Math manipulatives? Classroom library?
• What is the space of your room? • Windows? Whiteboards? Built-in cabinets?

Behavioral Management• Create an area to post classroom expectations
• Identify main routines and that occur daily and weekly • Transitions, independent work, whole class and small group
instruction, guest teachers, specialists
• Create lessons with explicit directions• What does it look like and sound like when meeting in small
groups?

Establishing Routines
First Day of SchoolTeach:
• Two major school wide expectations • Two major routines in the classroom• Two areas in the classroom students will need to be
familiar with right away
• When teaching students classroom and school wide expectations, provide both positive and negative examples of behaviors.

Second Day of School Review:• Before students engage in classroom and school wide
routines previously taught, they need to be reviewed.• Involve students- have them show you what it looks like
and sounds like. Preteaching sets students up for success
Teach:• Two more major school wide expectations • Two more major routines in the classroom• Two additional areas in the classroom students will need
to know in order to be successful.• For example, where to get math supplies or lined paper

Consistent Feedback• Provide specific positive feedback whenever possible.
• What can you say instead of “thank you” and “good job”?
• Say what you mean- just don’t say it mean
• Maintaining a calm tone regardless of situation
• If you find yourself in a moment where it might be tough to do any of the above- make it a teaching moment. For yourself and your students.
