Classroom Management

Now that I’m in a setting more similar to a resource room, the aspect of classroom management isn’t at the forefront. In my job now, I service students in either the pull-out or push-in setting, and don’t really ever have a large group in my room at one time. In years past though, classroom management was one of the things that took me several years to get down. I definitely was the softer side in my earlier teaching years, but grew in the area as the years went by. The First Days of School by Harry Wong was always a helpful summer read for me. It reminded me that it is best to start the year off a bit harder and ease up as you go.
