#056: How to Set Your Class Up for Success ALL Year

None of us start the school year hoping it's a challenging year. That would be ridiculous!  No. All teachers start the year with hope and great intentions, right? But, somewhere along the way, things can start to unravel [some years more than others].

So we need to figure out - where do things begin to fall apart so we can prevent that from happening in the future.

Today's episode is all about establishing systems and procedures that can go the distance so you and your students are set up for success all year. [Even when you hit those inevitable bumps in the road].

Where do you start? Well... we need to begin by defining what a well-run classroom looks like, what a great class community feels like and what the day-to-day looks like in an organized teacher life.

So what kinds of things make up the infrastructure that is the foundation of a well-run classroom, an organized teacher life, and a great class community?

Listen in. 

In this episode, find out: 

• What does a well-run classroom look like?
• How you can plan your words to create a better classroom community.
• Simple ways to stay on top of the workload [and still have a personal life].
• Why you need to care for yourself first and teach your students to do the same.
• How to define what your essential systems are for YOUR classroom.
• How long it really takes to train your students.

You can do this!
