🌟 Prioritizing classroom management is essential for creating an environment where students can thrive. Here's MindPlay's Top 5 Classroom Management Tips 🌟 1️⃣ Whiteboard Agendas: Routine = structure. Set expectations and let kids check them off as you complete each one as a team! 2️⃣ Call-and-Response Training: Need to grab attention fast? Channel your inner Swiftie or bring on the 2000s rock - song lyrics make great tools! 3️⃣ Think-Pair-Share: Teach analysis, collaboration, and narration - this is an easy way to focus attention and keep them accountable. 4️⃣ Sticky-Note Regulations: Just like traffic lights, sticky notes as visual cues can be a quick behavior warning. A walk-by yellow sticky can warn them to slow down and think about actions - then you pull it back up when they've calmed. And boost their morale with a GREEN sticky note to show success! 5️⃣ 3-2-1 Exit Tickets: Wrap up your lesson by assessing 3 things they've learned, 2 things they want to know more about, and 1 question they still have. Gauge comprehension, peek into curiosities, and prep for the next day! What's your best classroom management tip? Let us know in the comments below 👇👇👇 #MindPlayEducation #classroommanagement
