5 Bits of Advice About: Classroom management

1. If planning isn’t working be prepared to change it.
2. Keep a pot of spare sharp pencils. Blunt and broken can be swapped hence no time wasting sharpening pencils.
3. At the beginning of term give the children a guided tour of where everything is kept in labeled containers. Encourages independence.
4. When you arrive at school give priority to resources and organisation. Being ready for the lesson is more important than anything else.
5. If behaviour is an issue during carpet time, seat the children in a circle.
