Students need to know administrative elements such as

1. Where due homework goes
2. When it is group time vs. quiet time
3. How to ask the teacher for help
4. The procedure for going to gym or art class
5. How and when students clean or tidy up

Establish routines early and make sure to write them down to really implement them!]]> 2019-05-05 22:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mshale1/pjnznk6z59ko/wish/356991527 Rules. mshale1 https://padlet.com/mshale1/pjnznk6z59ko/wish/356991859 What to consider:

- What type of atmosphere are you trying to create?
- How are you going to stay consistent with school rules?
- Which rules would you like to be specific? Which ones can be more general?
- How can rules assist you in teaching effectively?

Pick limits for your students and keep your rules positive and observable. They should know what each rule includes and excludes.

- Materials= Easy to find, easy to get
- Space should respect those in it
- Make eye contact and vary seating arrangements in order to include the whole classroom
- Horizontal Rows: Simple, good for pair or independent work. Poor for big group discussions.
- Cluster or Circle: Good for student interaction, independent work, sharing materials. Be careful of distractions however. ]]> 2019-05-05 22:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mshale1/pjnznk6z59ko/wish/356991921 First Week Tips. mshale1 https://padlet.com/mshale1/pjnznk6z59ko/wish/356992019 Name tags ready.
