August
This month is all about starting strong with classroom management and climate.
Your classroom should feel structured, consistent, and welcoming from day one — for both you and your students. In this month’s video, we’ll walk through simple, practical strategies for teaching and practicing routines, keeping expectations clear, and creating a space where students feel safe and ready to learn.
You’ll also see how these steps connect to the district’s instructional focuses, like modeling the thinking, starting with a purposeful Do Now, and checking understanding through exit tickets.
Below, you’ll find your August newsletters on Classroom Management and Classroom Climate, plus resources like the Classroom Management Plan Template, Classroom Management Tips & Ideas, and the How’s Our Climate? survey. Use these to set up your systems now — and keep them strong all year.
