Hello ladies and gentleman,
The last school bell has rang for some of you, and will soon ring for others. I realize that you are probably too thrilled to take things off your classroom walls and clean your rooms, so that you can enjoy a much needed break! But...let's not take too much of a break, because you have to begin thinking about how to improve your management and instruction for the upcoming school year.
I have a plan on how to help you to organize and prioritize your summer to-do list!! The plan includes 4 weeks of collecting, thinking, and organizing ideas and items for the 2012-13 school year.
WEEK 1: Review, Evaluate, and Design Action Plan (what things to review, room arrangement, attendace taking, behavior monitoring, consequences, rules and procedures, your role as the teacher, rewards, transitions, centers, etc.)
WEEK 2: Research, Develop Strategies, Consult Colleagues
(research: books and web, consult with veteran teachers, think of strategies you can use, etc.)
WEEK 3: Shopping list
( What do you need to buy, think outside of the box for materials, my personal favorites Dollar Tree
and YARD SALES)
WEEK 4: Create a 1st day of school script, Finalize room arrangement, Classroom Management lesson plans.
I will post information for each week separately, so check back in soon!!!!!
Also, please post comments. Your ideas will benefit other teachers :)
